Kim Hakgyun, Sejong Deputy Mayor: "Turning Lessons from Parliamentary Audit into City Advancement"

Instructions Given to Supplement General Allocation Grant System Improvements at Executive Meeting on the 21st

The National Assembly's Public Administration and Security Committee is meticulously advancing key pending projects for Sejong City by systematically organizing and supplementing the major issues raised during the parliamentary audit conducted on October 20.

On October 21, during an executive meeting held at City Hall’s Jiphyeon Room, Deputy Mayor Kim Hakgyun said, "The parliamentary audit provided an opportunity to hear various opinions and positions on current issues facing the city," adding, "We should use this as a chance to advance city administration in a positive direction."

He further stated, "As seen in the opposition from other cities and provinces regarding the proposed improvements to the general allocation grant system during the audit, we must prepare supporting materials that reflect Sejong City's unique characteristics in order to overcome such resistance."

He particularly emphasized the need to establish a comprehensive plan that incorporates detailed promotional strategies so that the 2027 Chungcheong Summer Universiade will be perceived as an attractive event both domestically and internationally.

Deputy Mayor Kim also noted, "It is necessary to clearly define the concept of the Sejong Smart City National Pilot City," instructing that this be concretized through consultations with the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport and relevant experts.

Additionally, he directed efforts to promote the Veterans Park, stating, "Despite its vast space and beautiful scenery, it is not widely known among citizens. We should host various events at Veterans Park to establish it as a space for citizens to relax."

He went on to say, "I am grateful to all staff members who devoted themselves to preparing for the Sejong Hangeul Festival and the parliamentary audit despite difficult financial circumstances," emphasizing, "We must continue to take pride in and responsibility for the fact that our city is growing into a world-class city."
