Most Completed Pledge Projects Secured National and Provincial Funding 'Praised', Only 'A Grade' in Gyeongnam Military District

O Tae-wan, the mayor of Uiryeong-gun, Gyeongnam, is evaluated to be carrying out his campaign promises as planned. The evaluation results, including the pledge fulfillment rate, showed an 'excellent' rate exceeding 87%.

According to the county on the 4th, the Citizen Pledge Evaluation Group assessed the performance of the first year of the 8th local government’s campaign promises on the 31st of last month. The evaluation committee was divided into subcommittees and thoroughly checked the implementation status of 54 campaign promises across four major areas.

This evaluation was conducted to check whether the campaign promises of the 8th local government, made to the citizens, are being implemented without delay, and was carried out through face-to-face evaluations with related department heads based on the progress status, including opinion gathering and Q&A sessions.

As a result of the pledge evaluation, out of 54 promises, 47 were rated excellent and 7 were rated good, with most campaign projects progressing smoothly, receiving positive evaluations.

In particular, the Citizen Pledge Evaluation Group gave high marks for the fact that most of the confirmed and completed promises were selected for public contest projects, securing national and provincial government budgets. These include the creation of the Gungnyu Incident Victims Memorial Park, establishment of a park golf course, construction of the second exhibition hall of the Uibyeong Museum, selection for the Rural Agreement public contest project, and expansion of parking spaces at Uiryeong Market.

On the other hand, the Citizen Pledge Evaluation Group pointed out that some promises, such as attracting the National Language Dictionary Museum and creating a healing rural town along the Namgang River, are progressing somewhat slowly.

The county plans to carefully re-examine the problems in the progress of the pledges along with realistic countermeasures and, if necessary, supplement specific implementation plans for each pledge.

Mayor Oh said, “The first roadmap for the next 50 years of Uiryeong-gun under the 8th local government has received passing marks from the citizens. We will definitely fulfill the precious promises made to the citizens. We will ensure that citizens can fully feel the changes through speedy project implementation.”

Meanwhile, Uiryeong-gun has been achieving good results regarding the evaluation of campaign projects. In particular, in April, it was the only county-level local government in Gyeongnam to receive an excellent (A grade) rating in the '8th Local Government Heads Campaign Implementation Plan Evaluation' hosted by the Korea Manifesto Practice Headquarters, which is regarded as the most prestigious competition related to election campaign project evaluations.
