In the new project, employees of the relevant departments and family members will be thoroughly investigated whether or not they own the land.
On the 4th, the Korea Land and Housing Corporation (LH), which was controversial over the suspicion that employees were speculating on land in the new city, issued an apology to the public and announced that it would introduce a pre-report system for land transactions for all employees and their families.
“The public apology for allegations of speculation in Siheung, Gwangmyeong,” which LH distributed to the media on the same day, said, “In cooperation with the government, we will conduct a full survey on the land transaction status of employees and families of related departments for the entire 3rd new city as quickly as possible.” He said, “I will make every effort to find out the facts so that I don’t even have any doubts.”
He emphasized that “if any illegal matters are confirmed, we will take strict measures in accordance with the laws and regulations.”
In addition, LH said, “With this incident, we will establish a discipline for public office by innovating the internal organization with great and powerful efforts,” and “We will quickly implement measures to prevent recurrence so as not to cause public resentment due to suspicion of speculation again.”
In particular, “We will introduce a system for pre-reporting land transactions of former (all) employees and their families, and when implementing new projects, we will thoroughly investigate whether the employees of the relevant departments and their families own land.” “We will impose high penalties, such as disadvantages in terms of personnel,” he said.
He added, “In the future, we will be reborn as a trusted Korea Land and Housing Corporation by carrying out a stable housing stability policy in the future.”
On this day, LH held an emergency response meeting presided over by President Choong-mo Jang, acting as an acting president, in order to thoroughly investigate allegations of speculation in the new city and to prepare rapid recurrence prevention measures.
