Gwangju Nam-gu Takes the Lead in Spreading 'Anti-Corruption and Integrity Culture'

Integrity Culture Week until the 10th... Full-scale Implementation Begins with Related Law Education

Nam-gu, Gwangju Metropolitan City (District Mayor Kim Byeong-nae) has taken the lead in spreading an anti-corruption and integrity culture.

Nam-gu announced that from the 3rd to the 10th, it will designate the period as Integrity Culture Week and will engage in active integrity practice activities, including a campaign to wear jeans and education on related laws.

This campaign was promoted to create a culture where corruption and dishonesty cannot take root not only in the public sector but throughout the local community, and to reform an unfair society based on mutual trust.

On this day, Nam-gu public officials participated in a campaign by wearing jeans to work. The jeans symbolize a three-line acrostic challenge for spreading the integrity culture, meaning “Integrity starts right now” and “Integrity, Righteousness, and Wisdom.”

District Mayor Kim Byeong-nae and about 100 public officials gathered in front of the main gate of the Nam-gu Office to pledge to create a clean local community together with the citizens of Gwangju by engaging in zero-corruption integrity activities.

In addition, 1,000 stickers bearing the meaning of integrity were produced and attached to the local government purchase cards used as payment methods for purchasing goods. On the 5th, a meeting to respect emotions and eradicate workplace harassment will be held.

On the 6th, an education session on the Anti-Graft Act will be conducted in the 6th-floor conference room of the district office with about 50 private consignment and subsidy project managers. On the last day of Integrity Culture Week, the 10th, a “Integrity Challenge Golden Bell” event will be held with representatives from each department participating.

A Nam-gu official said, “We have decided to carry out various campaigns to spread the integrity culture in the local community and create a fair organizational culture based on mutual trust,” adding, “Through fair, just, and trustworthy administration, we will eliminate corruption throughout our society and create a clear and transparent society.”
