Inauguration of the Transition Committee for Park Gang-su, Mayor-elect of Mapo District

[Asia Economy Reporter Park Jong-il] Park Gang-su, the mayor-elect of Mapo District, held the inauguration ceremony of the ‘8th Term Mapo District Mayor Transition Committee’ at 10 a.m. on the 13th at Mapo Central Library.

The inauguration ceremony proceeded in the order of awarding appointment letters to transition committee members and standing advisors, unveiling the plaque, and awarding appointment letters to advisory and honorary committee members. The transition committee was composed of personnel closely related to the daily lives of residents, reflecting the mayor-elect’s determination to always stand by the residents and pay attention to the grassroots.

At the ceremony, Mayor-elect Park said, “If the transition committee members gather their wisdom and valuable opinions to beautifully draw the blueprint for a better Mapo in the 8th term, I and about 1,500 Mapo public officials will unite our efforts to complete a better Mapo in the 8th term.”

He continued, “In the 8th term, Mapo District will operate an administration that serves the residents by actively collecting and reflecting their opinions, and a fair and principled public service society focused on improving employee welfare and performance- and ability-based integrity,” emphasizing ‘strict and transparent district administration’ as the top priority value.

The chairman of the committee, who will hold the direction of Mapo district administration for the next four years, is Kim Gyu-sik, a former senior official with abundant administrative and practical experience. Mr. Kim is an administrative expert with no ties to Mapo, and his appointment reflects Mayor-elect Park’s administrative policy of recruiting external personnel to implement strict and transparent district administration.

Former Mapo District Council Vice Chairman Seo Jong-su was appointed as vice chairman. The transition committee consists of 13 members, including 11 transition committee members with rich experience and knowledge in fields closely related to residents’ daily lives, organized into two subcommittees.

In addition, about 30 experts in fields such as health, education and culture, seniors, and small business owners were appointed as advisory committee members to improve the quality of life for socially vulnerable groups and ordinary citizens in the region and to revitalize the stagnant local economy.

The transition committee, which aims to present Mayor-elect Park’s blueprint for the 8th term, is scheduled to operate until the end of this month. The committee’s activities and major policies by subcommittee will be published in a white paper.
