[Seoul District News] Kim Kyung-ho, Mayor of Gwangjin-gu, Begins Reading Integrity Messages for Grade 5 and Above Senior Officials on the 31st & Builds Integrity Consensus with All Staff via Weekly 1-2 Morning Broadcasts

[Asia Economy Reporter Jongil Park] Gwangjin-gu (District Mayor Kim Kyung-ho) is launching the "2022 Relay Empathy Integrity Broadcast" to foster a culture of integrity and communication within the organization.

The integrity broadcast for this year, revamped with the launch of the 8th local government administration, will begin with the first reading by Gwangjin-gu Mayor Kim Kyung-ho to build employee consensus. Senior executives at grade 5 and above, including Deputy Mayor Baek Il-heon, will participate from the manuscript writing stage and deliver integrity messages in a relay format.

The broadcast will mandatorily include participation from high-ranking public officials such as the mayor and deputy mayor. Ten department heads, selected as top performers in the 2022 executive integrity evaluation by district and neighborhood, will read integrity messages.

The broadcast content will vividly cover integrity-related systems such as "The First Step in Public Service," "Integrity Energy," "Conflict of Interest Prevention Act," and "Public Finance Recovery Act," as well as personal experiences and reflections on integrity encountered during public service.

As senior officials lead by example and demonstrate their commitment to integrity, it is expected that the practice of integrity among all employees will be encouraged and interest will significantly increase compared to previous years.

The integrity broadcast will start with a special broadcast by Mayor Kim Kyung-ho on August 31 and will be conducted 1 to 2 times per week, totaling 20 sessions until November, airing immediately after the morning broadcast within the district office.

Mayor Kim Kyung-ho of Gwangjin-gu said, "I hope this integrity broadcast will serve as a foundation for all Gwangjin-gu employees to practice integrity," and added, "We will continue to promote various integrity policies to create a clean and transparent Gwangjin."
