[Suwon Ilbo=Reporter Jung Jun-sung] Hwaseong Special City held a 'Pledge Ceremony for Mutual Respect and Integrity Practice' on the 9th at the City Hall Situation Room, reaffirming its commitment to implementing integrity-based administration that citizens can feel.

The pledge ceremony was attended by Mayor Jung Myung-geun and senior officials at level 4 and above, including heads of divisions, departments, and offices, as well as heads of public-related organizations.

The ceremony was designed with an emphasis on establishing a practice-oriented integrity culture. Participants pledged to lead efforts in eradicating habitual corruption in the public sector and creating a clean organizational culture based on mutual respect.

In particular, as a special city, Hwaseong plans to strengthen a leading-by-example culture centered on senior officials to establish integrity standards befitting the city's expanded administrative authority and responsibilities. The city will also continue to inspect preventive activities and internal control systems for corruption-vulnerable areas. Additionally, it plans to enhance accountability and transparency in field administration by coordinating with the four newly launched district offices.

Starting with this pledge, the city plans to sequentially promote pledge participation for all employees to spread an atmosphere of integrity practice throughout the organization.

Mayor Jung Myung-geun stated, "Trust must be proven through action, not words," and added, "All public officials, including those in the four newly launched district offices, will lead by example to implement administration that citizens can trust."
