Kim Kyun-ho, Gwangju Seo-gu Council Member, Points Out Mismanagement in Private Consignment

Kim Kyun-ho, a member of the Gwangju Seo-gu Council, announced on the 19th that he pointed out the poor management of private consignment in Seo-gu during a 5-minute free speech at the 311th extraordinary session.

Councilor Kim criticized ▲ the private consignment ordinance for ineffective handling ▲ inadequate evaluation criteria ▲ excellent case presentations by the Traffic Guidance Division and Resident Participation Review ▲ and the Anti-Corruption and Civil Rights Commission's efforts to enhance transparency in private consignment, urging faithful implementation of the private consignment tasks specified in the ordinance and calling for improvements to the current ordinance's shortcomings.

Kim stated, "Although the ordinance specifies that council consent and reporting, guidance and inspection, audits, and performance evaluations 90 days before the expiration of the consignment period must be carried out when private consignment is implemented, most of the materials submitted by Seo-gu showed that guidance and inspections were conducted only formally or that performance evaluations were inadequate."

He also pointed out, "In some review committees, not only have meetings never been held, but private consignment institutions were selected solely through written reviews without electing a chairman, which is an issue that requires immediate correction. Additionally, the evaluation criteria for private consignment of sports facilities are meaningless as the qualitative evaluation is scored out of 50 points by the review committee."

Furthermore, he criticized the poor and sloppy evaluation criteria, saying, "There is an error in scoring where three evaluation items are scored as one during the review committee's evaluation, and the establishment year of the organization is presented as a detailed evaluation criterion for assessing community contribution," demanding improvements.
