Suwon City Implements Special Integrity Inspection Ahead of Lunar New Year

Suwon City announced on the 15th that it will organize special integrity inspection teams and conduct inspection activities through the 27th to correct any laxity in civil service discipline ahead of the Lunar New Year holiday.

The city has formed inspection teams consisting of four units and 16 personnel to conduct inspection activities targeting all departments under the city in the areas of ▲violations of civil servant conduct regulations ▲violations related to civil service discipline and duty compliance ▲accepting entertainment, money, and gifts ▲lunar new year holiday comprehensive measures and inspection activities on citizen inconveniences.

In particular, this inspection activity will focus intensively on the food and environmental sanitation guidance and supervision sector, which was identified as a vulnerable area based on last year's integrity assessment evaluation results.

The city has instructed each department head to conduct employee education on civil service discipline, and plans to respond strongly by imposing strict disciplinary measures if any misconduct is discovered, holding department heads jointly responsible.

Kim Eung-ryeol, Auditor in Charge, stated, "While inspection activities on money and gift acceptance, various irregularities, and discipline laxity are important, we will do our best to ensure that civil servants themselves take the lead by example so that a clean civil service atmosphere can be created with no exchange of gifts."

The city is promoting various initiatives including a reward system for reporting corruption and misconduct, and satisfaction surveys of visitors seeking administrative services. In February, the city plans to hold a "Integrity Administration Implementation Resolution Meeting" to once again affirm its commitment to transparent and clean integrity administration.
