Four Local Public Enterprises in Gyeonggi Province Ordered to Improve Management

The Gyeonggi Tourism Organization and three other local public enterprises in the province, including Osan City Sewerage, have received management improvement orders from the Ministry of Interior and Safety to reduce business operations and workforce.

According to the Ministry of Interior and Safety on the 9th, following a review by the Management Diagnosis Committee evaluating last year's operations, management improvement orders were issued to 15 institutions with poor performance (3 corporations, 3 public agencies, 6 water supply authorities, and 3 sewerage authorities).

The ministry instructed the Gyeonggi Tourism Organization to downsize its business operations if it fails to meet revenue targets this year, citing indiscriminate business expansion that has led to deficits since its establishment in 2002 and unclear business prospects.

Additionally, the ministry required Osan City Sewerage to undertake organizational redesign and workforce adjustment. Yeoncheon Facilities Corporation (improvement of personnel management and enhanced expertise in finance and accounting) and Hanam City Water Supply (establishment of aged pipe maintenance plan) were also notified of the committee's decision.

In response, an official from the Gyeonggi Tourism Organization stated, "All executives and employees will make efforts to achieve the guidelines presented by the Ministry of Interior and Safety this year through various policies including cost reduction."
