[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Lee Seryeong] “Managing the residents' entrusted finances recklessly is a betrayal of their expectations.”


On the 11th, Park Wansu, Governor of Gyeongnam Province, emphasized the sound management of centers, investment and foundation institutions, the number of public officials, and debts entrusted by the residents during the meeting with heads of departments and bureaus.


Governor Park said, “There are as many as 99 centers under the provincial government,” and instructed, “Analyze by department whether the centers, which receive huge budgets, are effectively functioning for the residents and report countermeasures.”


He also mentioned the 12 tasks proposed during the visit of the Minister of Land, Infrastructure and Transport on the 10th, including toll reduction on private roads and lifting of development restriction zones.


He said, “Geoga-daero was constructed as a submerged tunnel due to naval military operation issues, which increased the tolls,” and added, “The government support should minimize the burden on the residents.”


He continued, “For provincial administration issues such as lifting development restriction zones, it is necessary to deeply consider, derive goals, and develop logic through a process to resolve them.”


“Indicators such as the installation rate of emergency fire extinguishing devices being lower than other cities and provinces is the result of neglecting duties,” he said, urging, “Please do your best in your respective duties to improve the indicators in each field of provincial administration.”


According to the province, Governor Park attended the Central-Local Cooperation Meeting chaired by the President on the 7th and proposed the establishment of the Space Aviation Agency within the year, the installation of the Defense Industry Parts Research Institute, the supply and demand of technical personnel in the shipbuilding industry, and the development of tourism in the southern coast.


After specially instructing to manage the proposals carefully, Governor Park said, “The President also agreed with the view that the transfer of land use and environmental affairs and fiscal authority to local governments is necessary for local governments to have self-sustainability.”


He said, “A comprehensive plan must be established to ensure there are no blind spots in the province’s railway network and reflected in the national railway network construction plan,” and encouraged, “Let’s pay more attention and effort to promoting the Dalbit Inland Railway passing through Hamyang, Geochang, and Hapcheon.”



He also emphasized ▲clarifying roles in joint affairs with cities and counties ▲establishing special measures to expand youth employment in large corporations and public institutions within the province ▲and communication and cooperation related to agriculture, fisheries, and manufacturing industries.
