Daejeon City Conducts 'Public Official Inspection' Ahead of Lunar New Year Holidays and General Election Until April
Formed and Operated Special Inspection Team from January to April
Preventing Misconduct Amid Holiday Atmosphere
Focused Inspection on Violations of Public Official Election Act and More
Daejeon City is launching a special inspection ahead of the Lunar New Year holiday and the 22nd National Assembly election.
On the 19th, Daejeon City announced that it will operate a special inspection team from this month until April 9 to establish public service discipline among civil servants and public institution employees before the holiday and to maintain election neutrality around the general election.
The special inspection team consists of 38 members across 8 teams and will operate for 14 weeks. Joint inspections with the Ministry of the Interior and Safety will also be conducted during the special inspection period.
The main inspection targets include violations of duty management such as improper receipt of overtime pay and travel expenses, leaving the workplace without permission, violations of political neutrality by public officials, drunk driving, receiving entertainment related to official duties, and other acts that damage dignity and disrupt discipline.
In particular, violations of the Public Official Election Act such as supporting or defaming specific candidates through social media (SNS) and direct involvement in election campaigns will be the focus of the inspection.
Additionally, Daejeon City will link and operate the Ministry of the Interior and Safety’s ‘Anonymous Reporting Channel for Public Official Election Corruption’ on the Daejeon City website to allow citizens to directly report election corruption.
Daejeon City plans to strictly discipline any violations of political neutrality, acts damaging dignity, and disruptions of public service discipline detected during the inspection period by applying a zero-tolerance policy.
