D-43 to the April 10 General Election... Commencement of Inspection Activities in Dongdaemun-gu

Strengthening Year-Round Inspection Activities and Strict Measures Against Public Service Corruption and Discipline Lapses

Dongdaemun-gu, Seoul (District Mayor Lee Pil-hyung) has established the 2024 public service inspection operation plan and will conduct inspection activities to foster an honest public service community and enhance residents' trust.

The main inspection areas include ▲corrupt acts and conduct damaging the dignity of public officials ▲violations of the Public Official Election Act and political neutrality obligations ▲acceptance of money or valuables. The district plans to strengthen inspection activities throughout the year to prevent such misconduct by public officials in advance.

Focus will be placed on inspecting areas related to the Improper Solicitation and Graft Act such as improper solicitations, areas related to the Local Public Officials Act such as damage to the dignity of public officials, and lax public service discipline during vulnerable periods around holidays. Strict disciplinary actions will be taken against violators.

In particular, since the 22nd National Assembly election will be held this year, the district official explained that focused inspections will also be conducted on major violations of the Public Official Election Act, including ▲breach of election neutrality obligations and prohibition of election involvement ▲expressing support or opposition through SNS posts ▲violations of restrictions and prohibitions on donation activities.

Lee Pil-hyung, Mayor of Dongdaemun-gu, emphasized, “As the National Assembly election approaches, service discipline may become lax, so it is necessary to establish strict public service discipline,” and added, “We will strengthen inspection activities to prevent public service corruption in advance and create an honest Dongdaemun-gu free from corruption.”
