Gyeonggi-do Conducts 'Special Inspection on Public Service Discipline' Ahead of Lunar New Year and General Election

Gyeonggi Province will conduct a special inspection on public officials' discipline ahead of the '22nd National Assembly Election' scheduled for April 10.

The main inspection items include violations of election laws such as public officials directly participating in election campaigns for specific candidates, covertly supporting or defaming certain candidates, and supporting or opposing specific candidates through social networking services (SNS).

Along with this, Gyeonggi Province will also check for violations of the Improper Solicitation and Graft Act, such as accepting money or entertainment during the Lunar New Year holiday atmosphere, dereliction of duty, and delays in handling civil complaints, which violate the public officials' code of conduct.

During this period, Gyeonggi Province will conduct intensive inspection activities, including covert inspections day and night, targeting the provincial office, affiliated organizations, and 31 cities and counties in cooperation with the Ministry of the Interior and Safety.

Additionally, reports on election-related corruption by public officials will be accepted through the province’s 'Public Official Corruption Anonymous Reporting (Helpline)' and the Ministry of the Interior and Safety’s 'Public Election Corruption Anonymous Reporting Channel.'

A Gyeonggi Province official stated, "Public officials found guilty of misconduct during this inspection ahead of the 22nd general election and Lunar New Year will be held strictly accountable regardless of intent or negligence," adding, "We will thoroughly block corrupt acts to foster a fair election atmosphere."
