It was revealed on the 15th that 2898 employees of Korea Land and Housing Corporation (LH) were audited for illegally receiving travel expenses.

According to the results of the’LH employee’s self-investigation (investigation period: March-May 2020) for illegal receipt of travel expenses for employees of LH and the length of service for irregular beneficiaries’ that Rep. Eun-Hye Kim, an office of the National Assembly’s National Land Transport Commission, secured and released from the LH audit office on this day, the total number of irregular beneficiaries 2898 Among the number of employees (the total number of employees as of the fourth quarter of last year was 9449), 1,335 (46.1%) of employees with less than 5 years of service were surveyed.

189 (6.5%) for those in the 5th year and above to less than 10 years, 590 (20.3%) for those in the 10th year and above to the 20th year, 343 persons (11.9%) for those in the 20th year and above to the 30th year and above, and 439 for those in the 30th year and above.

The Gyeongnam headquarters and Seoul and Incheon alone accounted for 47.5%.

After the exposure of allegations of speculation on LH land, a user who authenticated as a member of LH posted a post saying, “I can’t study (LH) and cook and turn around.” It is known that this bulletin board is mainly used by the younger generation in their 20s and 30s. Because of this, it was pointed out whether there is a problem with the LH organizational culture itself.

Rep. Kim Eun-hye said, “If you see that employees who have recently joined the company have made false travel expenses, you can see if the LH organizational culture is tolerant of minor corruption.” It is highly probable that it would lead to a bigger crime by covering up a small corruption with his eyes closed.” Rep. Kim said, “We will promptly prepare a legislative mechanism for the restoration and inspection of the audit function so that the possibility of moral hazard spreading throughout the organization can be prevented in advance.”

Assemblyman Kim previously revealed that 2,898 executives and employees had been collecting blind money by claiming false travel expenses when Minister of Land, Infrastructure and Transport Byun Chang-heum served as LH president. The travel expenses they received illegally amounted to 492.28 million won.
