Gim Su-yeong, Gwangju Seo-gu Council Member, Urges Rational Budget Planning for Village Projects

Kim Su-young, a member of the Gwangju Metropolitan City Seo-gu Council, announced on the 30th through a 5-minute free speech at the 3rd plenary session of the 1st regular meeting of the 312th session that he proposed “improvements to the operation of regional hub neighborhoods in Seo-gu” and “stable budget securing through rational budget planning.”

Councilor Kim stated, “After reviewing the implementation performance of the regional hub neighborhood projects, there were no notable projects or achievements between the hub neighborhoods and connected neighborhoods,” and argued, “To realize effective village autonomy, it is necessary to reorganize the operation method of hub neighborhoods into feature project-centered and proximity neighborhood organization linkage.”

Regarding the supplementary budget cut compared to the original budget, he said, “Project setbacks caused by budget cuts disappoint residents who eagerly awaited policy implementation and lead to administrative distrust,” and emphasized, “To enhance administrative reliability, the justification and rational scale of the budget must be thoroughly reviewed from the original budget planning process.”

Councilor Kim added, “In the era of local decentralization, I believe the main role of the council is not only to monitor and check the administrative office but also to create the direction of projects for the residents together. To truly realize village autonomy, I will strive to carefully consider the diverse needs of residents and participate in policy making for the residents.”
