Osan City Receives Minister of Interior and Safety Commendation for Establishing Public Service Integrity

[Suwon Ilbo=Reporter Park Chan-hyeok] Osan City announced on the 5th that it received a commendation from the Minister of Interior and Safety for outstanding achievements in establishing public service integrity, including advance prevention of corruption and self-management of public officials last year.

In this evaluation targeting local government entities nationwide, the city was recognized for its efforts in operating internal control systems and strengthening public service ethics.

The evaluation was based on the utilization of major internal control tools operated in 2024, including the Cheongbaek-e system, self-diagnosis system, and public official self-management system, with Osan City scoring high on all items and being selected as an exemplary institution.

The city blocked the possibility of administrative errors or corruption in advance through the 'Cheongbaek-e system' linked with administrative information systems related to local finance, local taxes, and non-tax revenue, and operated a self-diagnosis system in areas of administration directly connected to citizens, such as social welfare, environment, and construction permits, to conduct advance inspections on tasks with potential for misconduct.

This year, the city plans to further strengthen and operate voluntary internal control systems, with the policy of continuing transparent and trusted administration by further advancing the existing Cheongbaek-e system, self-diagnosis system, and public official self-management system.

Mayor Lee Kwon-jae said, "In 2025, we will minimize corruption and administrative errors and practice exemplary administration that earns trust from citizens."
