In the last 10 years, there has not been a single case of LH’s use of undisclosed information. In addition, it was the lowest in the evaluation of integrity by external organizations, but received excellent grades every year through its own survey. That is why the establishment of anti-speculation measures should start at the same time inside and outside the LH.

The current Special Public Housing Act stipulates that improper use or disclosure of inside information is subject to imprisonment for up to 5 years or a fine of up to 50 million won.
The legislation that is being promoted includes the content of reinforcing the level of punishment so that it can be redeemed from 3 to 5 times of speculative profits, or raise the level of punishment to imprisonment for one year or more.
There is a need to strengthen penalties, but the institutions’ internal control systems also need to be strengthened.
This time, there were a number of suspected speculation cases, but in the last 10 years, LH has not had a single employee caught for the use of undisclosed information.
There are criticisms that the wrapping of my family is widespread, as employees who leaked the development drawings of the Wonheung District in Goyang in 2018 were limited to disciplinary action.
In the public institution integrity survey conducted by the National Human Rights Commission of Korea, it received the lowest rating for all four years, but in its own survey, it was rated as excellent at the bottom every year.
[김남근/참여연대 정책위원 : 이 문제를 크게 윤리적으로 문제가 되거나 법 위반 행위란 생각이 없이 한 것이 아닌가. (LH) 내부의 부패방지 시스템을 만들고 청렴서약을 받고 그런 작업이 필요하지 않을까.]
Amid the suspicion of speculation on land and the violation of the obligation to prohibit concurrent employment, it is necessary to strengthen internal controls to self-adjust the social responsibilities of public institutions along with discussions on legislation that raises the level of punishment.
