[Suwon Ilbo=Choi Ki-ho] Ganghwa County has launched efforts to strengthen public service discipline ahead of the year-end and New Year period.

The county announced on the 22nd that it will conduct a special year-end duty conduct inspection to ensure civil servants focus on their assigned duties and responsibilities, with the aim of implementing trustworthy administration.

The main focus areas of the duty conduct inspection include △misuse of official leave and sick leave △unauthorized business trips △unauthorized absences or departures △drunk driving △delays in civil administrative work processing △negligence in civil complaint management △sexual misconduct (sexual harassment, indecent acts, etc.).

In addition, violations of civil service codes of conduct and the Anti-Corruption and Solicitation Act—such as accepting money or hospitality and improper solicitations—will be referred for investigation. The county also plans to check emergency communication systems to ensure swift on-site measures are taken in cases of emergency duty calls such as heavy snow warnings.

A county official said, "Through this duty conduct inspection, we will heighten employee awareness and establish strict conduct discipline to realize trustworthy administration."
