[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Yukbong] On the 10th, Buk-gu, Gwangju City announced that it will implement the ‘2022 Comprehensive Anti-Corruption and Integrity Improvement Measures’ to enhance residents' trust and strengthen public officials' integrity capabilities.

To this end, Buk-gu will carry out 32 tasks across four areas: ▲ Establishing an integrity policy implementation system ▲ Activating anti-corruption system operations ▲ Strengthening integrity education for public officials ▲ Spreading a culture of integrity in daily life.

First, to establish a commitment to practicing integrity, a T/F team called the ‘Integrity Development Team,’ composed of 17 departments of the district office, will be operated to discover and implement effective integrity policies by department.

An integrity satisfaction survey targeting civil petitioners will be conducted, and through the ‘Integrity Field Investigation Team,’ which visits dissatisfied petitioners directly to consult and identify causes, the sense of integrity will be enhanced.

A cooperative system with residents and experts, such as the Residents’ Audit Committee and the Residents’ Grievance Handling Committee, will be established to strengthen monitoring and supervision of various corrupt acts.

Additionally, by participating in the ‘Integrity Consulting’ led by the Anti-Corruption and Civil Rights Commission, the institution’s anti-corruption level will be diagnosed and customized measures will be additionally prepared to strengthen integrity capabilities.

In particular, efforts will focus on fostering correct integrity awareness in daily life and creating a clean and transparent public service culture through special integrity lectures for senior officials, integrity education for staff in corruption-prone areas, practical training on proper budget execution, accounting and contract management, and Integrity Week.

District Mayor Moon said, “We will make this year the ‘first year’ for improving integrity and promote strong anti-corruption and integrity policies to build a Buk-gu that is more trusted by residents.”
