Hampyeong-gun Holds 'Corruption OUT, Integrity OK' Pledge Rally

[Hampyeong=Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Chunsu] On the 9th, Hampyeong County, Jeollanam-do announced that it held a Clean Government Practice Resolution Meeting in the county office's large conference room to foster an honest public service community.

On this day, about 70 Hampyeong County officials, including County Governor Lee Sang-ik, read aloud the Clean Government Resolution containing commitments such as ▲eradicating abuse of position and authority ▲prohibiting solicitation and requests ▲banning acceptance of money and entertainment ▲excluding external pressure, officially declaring their determination to practice integrity.

Hampyeong County received a grade 3 in last year's local government integrity evaluation conducted by the Anti-Corruption and Civil Rights Commission, improving by one level compared to the previous year.

This year, aiming to achieve grade 1, the county plans to vigorously promote integrity policies that residents can tangibly feel, such as ▲disclosing contract information and the selection process and results of subsidized projects ▲operating a reporting system for public officials' corruption and abuse of power ▲introducing a quasi-multi-faceted evaluation system involving employee participation.

Governor Lee Sang-ik said, “No matter how good a policy is, it has no effect or meaning if the residents do not trust it. The trust of residents in county administration is secured when the public service community is honest and fair, and residents must be able to believe so.”
