[Asia Economy (Suwon) = Reporter Lee Young-gyu] A citizen advisory group responsible for checking and advising on the implementation status of Gyeonggi Province Governor Kim Dong-yeon's campaign pledges has been officially launched.


Gyeonggi Province announced that Governor Kim appointed a citizen jury panel to inspect and evaluate the campaign projects of the 8th local government term on the 4th at Dodamso in Paldal-gu, Suwon City (the former Gyeonggi Governor's official residence).


Governor Kim said, "While creating the pledges during the election period, I tried hard to include what I experienced, felt, and learned during my 34 years of public service, as well as the thoughts and hopes of the people I met while traveling nationwide for two and a half years after my public service, and fundamentally how to change the Republic of Korea. I incorporated my beliefs and philosophy into the pledges, reflecting the Gyeonggi Province I want to create and the idea of changing Gyeonggi Province to change Korea. If the jury members think together and provide good opinions, it will be a great help in leading Gyeonggi Province's administration for the next four years," he said.


He added, "I realized in public service that social change and reform are not led by a few so-called elites. The voices and power of citizens must be combined, and that is exactly the role you all play. I believe that when voices are raised from the field of life and those voices gather, there will be power to change our society," he added.


The citizen jury panel consists of 40 members selected from residents aged 18 and over through an automated response system (ARS) lottery based on proportional population by age, gender, and region, followed by telephone interviews with those wishing to participate. They will review the validity and appropriateness of the implementation plans for the 8th local government campaign pledges and propose and recommend ideas and improvements for pledge fulfillment.


After the appointment ceremony, the province held the first meeting of the citizen jury panel, including manifesto education and the formation of subcommittees to review detailed campaign projects.



The province will hold two meetings on the 18th of this month and the 2nd of next month, finalize the campaign projects by reflecting the jury panel's opinions and recommendations by the end of this year, and then prepare an implementation plan for the 8th local government campaign projects to be officially announced early next year.
