Jangseong-gun Appoints 'Pledge Implementation Plan Citizen Evaluation Group'

[Jangseong=Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Jo Hangyu] On the 15th, Jangseong-gun, Jeollanam-do held an appointment ceremony and meeting for the 'Pledge Implementation Plan Citizen Evaluation Group.'

According to the county on the 16th, the 'Pledge Implementation Plan Citizen Evaluation Group' consists of randomly selected Jangseong residents who evaluate pledge projects and recommend improvement measures through deliberation on matters requiring adjustment.

This is the first time it has been implemented since the 8th local government administration.

The county selected 30 people aged 18 or older from the local community through a lottery and telephone interviews, and to ensure transparency of the process and enhance the professionalism of the evaluation group's activities, the overall operation was entrusted to the Korea Manifesto Practice Headquarters, a specialized pledge organization.

On the first day, the 15th, following the appointment ceremony, a lecture titled 'Manifesto Movement and Citizen Jury' was held.

Manifesto, which means 'declaration' in Italian, is widely accepted domestically as meaning 'feasible election pledges.'

After the lecture, a meeting was held on topics such as the role and activities of the citizen evaluation group, task distribution, and selection of agenda items for deliberation.

On the 29th, explanations of pledges and Q&A sessions will be held by department heads, followed by agenda deliberations.

The county plans to provide sufficient materials necessary for the evaluation process to ensure smooth meeting progress.

At the third meeting to be held on the 6th of next month, a final recommendation on pledge implementation will be prepared based on the discussion results.

The recommendation will be published on the Jangseong-gun website for public viewing.

County Governor Kim Hanjong said, "We will actively reflect the opinions of the citizen evaluation group to implement the pledges of the 8th local government administration transparently and flawlessly," adding, "I will devote all my efforts to be evaluated as a 'governor who kept promises' in four years."
