Guri City Declares Zero Tolerance for Sexual Misconduct, Bribery, and Drunk Driving Among Public Officials

"Highest Level of Disciplinary Action Including Dismissal and Removal"
Strengthening Integrity Initiatives to Establish Public Sector Discipline

This campaign was carried out in line with a special inspection by higher authorities, including the Ministry of the Interior and Safety, aimed at strengthening discipline within the public sector. During the morning commute, Guri City Hall employees participated in a promotional activity under the slogan: "No to sexual misconduct! No to bribery! No to drunk driving! Yes to a clean public service!"

Sexual crimes such as harassment or assault that exploit positions of power, the acceptance of money or entertainment regardless of job relevance, and drunk driving are serious offenses that damage the dignity of public officials and undermine citizens' trust. Guri City has been continuously strengthening its disciplinary standards for such acts.

With this campaign as a turning point, the city plans to establish a zero-tolerance response system, applying the highest level of disciplinary action-such as dismissal or removal from office-for the three major types of misconduct. Guri City will also intensify efforts to foster a clean and trustworthy public service culture.

Mayor Baek Kyunghyun stated, "I will do my utmost to prevent cases of lax discipline and to firmly establish discipline in the public sector, believing that my own integrity is directly linked to the trust in public service."
