A Study on the Counterplans against Official Corruption
Jeongjoo Lee · The Korean Journal of Policy Studies · 1999
As the concept of a 'government by the People' has been departed from, the reformation of every field in society has been severely pushed with financial aid from the IMF. The abolishment and amalgamation of our systems and the reduction of personnel have been inevitably carrired out to exclude inefficiency and ineffectuality in official fields. The government has recognized the fact that the future of the country, including administrative authority and economic resurrection, can not be guaranteed without hollowing out official corruption and absurdity which have been found to be centered around each assessing organ. And intensive assessment has been deployed in 16 fields, such as human affairs, construction, officiail sanction of real estate, and public affairs. In consequence, 5,800 corruptive officials were disclosed in October 1998 and 222 of them were dismissed or forced to resign, 30 of them were suspended and 157 of them were reprimanded or docked.
