Hampyeong County conducted anti-corruption and integrity training for over 300 public officials, focusing on real administrative scenarios they may encounter.
On the morning of September 7, Hampyeong County in South Jeolla Province held the '2026 Second Half Anti-Corruption and Integrity Training' at the Hampyeong Expo Park's main video hall.
The training was attended by more than 300 public officials and emphasized sharing correct judgment criteria by presenting situations that may arise in the public sector, moving beyond simple legal instruction.
The lecture was led by Han Yoo-na, a certified instructor from the National Integrity Education Center of the Anti-Corruption and Civil Rights Commission.
Drawing on 14 years of practical experience in the field of integrity and anti-corruption, Han conducted a two-hour session themed 'Integrity that Protects Our Daily Lives.'
Key topics included the Conflict of Interest Prevention Act, the Anti-Bribery Act, and the Code of Conduct for Public Officials, which public officials must be well-versed in during their work processes.
The training specifically applied these laws and regulations to real-life scenarios, enabling officials to identify and respond to potential conflicts of interest or bribery issues they might overlook.
The training also connected integrity not just to legal compliance but to the everyday attitudes of public officials. It highlighted how small judgments and actions during work can influence the fairness of administration and ultimately relate to public trust in the civil service.
Hampyeong County aims to ensure that public officials accurately understand anti-corruption laws and foster an organizational culture that applies integrity as a principle and standard in their work processes.
Mayor Lee Nam-o stated, “Integrity is not a grand slogan but begins with public officials adhering to principles and performing their duties fairly in daily life. We will continue to implement various training and integrity initiatives to cultivate a trustworthy public service culture for our citizens.”
Meanwhile, Hampyeong County is also assessing areas vulnerable to corruption and promoting related policies to establish a culture of integrity throughout the public sector. Plans include operating an integrity council chaired by the mayor, a public-private integrity council, and conducting 'Integrity Happy Call' surveys targeting citizens to identify and improve potential corruption factors in administrative processes.
