[Asia Economy (Suwon) = Reporter Lee Young-gyu] Gyeonggi Province is expanding the number of subordinate institutions subject to personnel hearings from 15 to 20.

On the 22nd, Gyeonggi Province announced that on the 21st, it reached a sudden agreement with the Gyeonggi Provincial Council to expand the institutions subject to personnel hearings, which verify the operational capabilities of candidates for heads of public institutions under the province, from the existing 15 to 20.

The existing institutions subject to personnel hearings are 15 places including Gyeonggi Research Institute, Gyeonggi Economic Science Promotion Agency, Gyeonggi Credit Guarantee Foundation, Gyeonggi Job Foundation, Gyeonggi Housing and Urban Corporation, Gyeonggi Cultural Foundation, Gyeonggi Art Center, Gyeonggi Tourism Organization, Gyeonggi Contents Agency, Gyeonggi Lifelong Education Promotion Institute, Gyeonggi Agriculture and Fisheries Promotion Institute, Gyeonggi Welfare Foundation, Gyeonggi Market and Commercial Promotion Institute, Gyeonggi Transportation Corporation, and Gyeonggi Environment and Energy Promotion Institute.

According to this agreement, the institutions newly included in the personnel hearing target are Korea Ceramic Foundation, Gyeonggi Women's Family Foundation, Gyeonggi Social Service Institute, Gyeonggi Youth Training Center, and the planned Gyeonggi Social Economy Institute.

The province expects that this agreement will accelerate the appointment of heads of public institutions, which had been delayed until now.

Earlier, on the 17th, the province resubmitted the personnel hearing requests for candidates for heads of six public institutions to the provincial council on the 21st according to the new agreement. Personnel hearings for these six institutions are scheduled to be held within this week.

Both institutions have also extended the period for conducting personnel hearings from within 7 days from the governor's hearing request date to within 15 days. Additionally, the submission of hearing results, which had to be sent within 10 days from the hearing request date, has been adjusted to within 17 days. Even if the hearing results are not submitted, the appointment of the institution head is still possible.

Furthermore, although personnel hearings were previously omitted when reappointing institution heads, they will now be conducted if the public institution's management evaluation results are below multi-grade for two consecutive years.

A provincial official explained, "This agreement mostly accepted the Gyeonggi Provincial Council's demands to expand the institutions subject to personnel hearings and to extend the hearing period," adding, "It reflects Governor Kim Dong-yeon's will to lead the 8th elected provincial government through communication and cooperation with the provincial council while relinquishing the appointing authority's exclusive rights."
