Establishing a Monitoring System

On August 4, Boseong County in South Jeolla Province (Governor Kim Chulwoo) announced that it held an inauguration ceremony for the "1st Integrity Citizen Auditor" with direct participation from local residents, and officially launched related activities through a roundtable discussion.

Reflecting the county's commitment to integrity, the event was presided over by Governor Kim Chulwoo and proceeded in the following order: awarding of appointment certificates to the Integrity Citizen Auditors, an introduction to the Integrity Citizen Auditor system, discussion of measures to improve areas vulnerable to integrity issues, and collection of suggestions for county government development.

The "Integrity Citizen Auditor" is a newly introduced system this year, designed as a voluntary participation-based monitoring system that allows residents to directly oversee administrative affairs and propose improvements.

A total of seven auditors were appointed this time. All positions are unpaid honorary roles, and the auditors will serve as monitors and advisors for county administration over the next two years. The Integrity Citizen Auditors will play a central role in enhancing administrative transparency by directly conveying residents' voices from the field. Their responsibilities include reporting illegal or unjust administrative actions and public official misconduct, submitting suggestions regarding residents' inconveniences, recommending improvements to administrative systems and procedures, and proposing ideas for county development.

Governor Kim Chulwoo stated, "The introduction of the Integrity Citizen Auditor system marks an important turning point for increasing transparency and fairness in county administration," and added, "We will continue to strengthen the institutional foundation to realize an administration of integrity that residents can truly experience."

Meanwhile, the county has achieved the top grade for three consecutive years in the Comprehensive Integrity Assessment for public institutions, organized by the Anti-Corruption and Civil Rights Commission, and continues to actively promote various integrity initiatives to realize a "transparent local community created jointly by residents and public officials."
