Kim Sang-don, Mayor of Uiwang, Achieves Highest Grade (SA) in Evaluation of Seventh-Term Election Campaign Pledges

[Suwon Ilbo=Reporter Jung Jun-seong] Kim Sang-don, Mayor of Uiwang, achieved the highest grade of SA in the Korea Manifesto Practice Center's "Seventh-Term National Campaign Pledge Implementation and Information Disclosure Evaluation."

The Korea Manifesto Practice Center evaluated 226 heads of basic local governments across the country from March 2019 through December 31, 2020, across five categories: ▲completion of campaign pledges ▲achievement of 2020 targets ▲resident communication ▲web communication ▲pledge alignment. The evaluation results were classified into five grades from SA to D.

Mayor Kim Sang-don's seventh-term campaign pledges consist of a total of 55 detailed projects across six sectors under the city governance vision of "Uiwang Where Citizens Are Happy."

Among the total 55 projects, Mayor Kim has completed 35 pledge projects, with all pledges being implemented normally, showing a high pledge fulfillment rate of 89%.

Furthermore, specific pledge content and implementation progress are posted on the city website, and for completion or modification of pledges, the procedures involving reporting and approval by the Citizen Policy Committee are followed, thereby increasing transparency in pledge fulfillment to citizens.

In particular, through pledge fulfillment such as issuing Uiwang Love Gift Certificates, constructing Poil Youth Housing, operating primary physician programs at senior centers, supporting indoor gymnasium construction at schools, establishing next-generation intelligent transportation systems, and installing indoor playgrounds within the children's library, it is evaluated that achievements have been made in improving citizens' quality of life in various sectors including economy, culture, and welfare.

Going forward, through the implementation of major pledge projects such as the construction of an annex to the Ameae Senior Welfare Center and the development of Poil Techno Park, Uiwang City plans to elevate the urban infrastructure level to the next stage.
