Geuinmo, Geochang County Governor, Urges All Public Officials to Work Together to Achieve First-Class Integrity Rating

Special Lecture on Integrity Improvement... Pride for Residents, Self-Esteem for Public Officials

[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Choi Soon-kyung] On the 24th, Gu In-mo, the mayor of Geochang County, held a report meeting on the county government’s achievements and operational directions at the large conference room with the deputy mayor, department heads, and town and township chiefs attending the last expanded executive meeting of the year, followed by a special lecture on improving integrity, which was broadcasted administratively for all employees to watch.

On this day, Mayor Gu expressed deep regret over the decline in the integrity evaluation by the Anti-Corruption and Civil Rights Commission despite various achievements in county administration, stating that all public officials must deeply reflect on this matter.

In particular, although Geochang County had excellent achievements such as winning the joint evaluation of major city and county tasks for three consecutive years, being selected as an excellent institution in the Manifesto project, and receiving 43 awards, he expressed concern that these achievements might be undervalued due to the integrity evaluation, and made a new resolution along with reflection.

Since the integrity measurement for next year has already begun, he demanded a comprehensive review of this year’s integrity policies such as integrity calls, sending integrity letters, and integrity mileage, and the implementation of more effective and stronger measures next year.

Internally, with many new public officials newly appointed and working, he also requested department heads to take the lead in showing consideration and interest so that they can adapt well and improve a vibrant organizational culture.

Mayor Gu In-mo emphasized that “we must improve integrity through painstaking efforts to instill pride in the residents and protect the self-esteem of public officials,” and urged “all public officials to work together to achieve the highest integrity grade in 2022.”
