On September 15, Gangjin County announced that it recently held the first session of the “Citizen Jury Meeting” in the main conference room of the county office. With support from the Korea Manifesto Center, about 30 citizen jurors were selected to review the status of pledge implementation and discuss the future direction of county administration. The meetings will be held a total of three times: the second session is scheduled for the 26th, and the final session will take place on the 17th of next month.

The first session included an appointment ceremony for the citizen jurors, followed by lectures on the manifesto movement and the citizen jury system. The jurors were divided into five groups, where they introduced themselves, shared their motivations for participating, discussed their roles and future schedules, and then presented their group resolutions.

County Governor Gang Jinwon stated, “Through the citizen jury meetings, we will work to narrow the gap between our pledges and actual implementation, and strengthen communication with county residents.”
