Jae-myung Lee, Gyeonggi Governor.
Gyeonggi Governor Lee Jae-myeong nailed the decision of Lee Min-woo, chairman of the Gyeonggi Credit Guarantee Foundation, who was called the’Kim Moon-soo scholar,’ saying, “The first principle of personnel in Gyeonggi Province is skill.” Governor Lee said on his Twitter on the 30th, “It is correct to exclude his birth or political disposition (in relation to Chairman Lee’s reappointment), evaluate him based on his ability, performance, and grades, and give him opportunities accordingly.” Gyeonggi Province previously decided on the 29th to be reappointed by Lee Min-woo, chairman of the Gyeonggi Credit Guarantee Foundation (Gyeonggi Shinbo). Chairman Lee joined the company as an employee when the Gyeonggi Shinbo was founded in 1996, where he served as Head of Planning and Management Headquarters and Head of Southern Regional Headquarters. In December 2018, after Governor Lee took office, he was appointed as the 14th Chairman of Gyeonggi Shinbo with a two-year term after a public offering. Chairman Lee competed with five candidates at the executive level or higher of a large domestic financial institution at the recently held conference for the chairman, and the final decision was made. The reason why Chairman Lee’s reappointment is eye-catching is because of his past history as’Kim Moon-soo’. Chairman Lee was summoned to the prosecution after being summoned to the prosecution after revealing the’split sponsorship’ of Kim Moon-soo to the Gyeonggi branch at the time of the Gyeonggi Shinbo Planning and Management Headquarters, and was fined 3 million won for violating the Political Fund Act. For this reason, the Democratic Party of the Gyeonggi-do Parliament at the time of the competition for the chairman in December 2018 also objected to Lee’s appointment of the chairman, saying,’Anyone who was loyal at the time of former governors Kim Moon-soo and Nam Gyeong-pil cannot become the chairman’.
At the time, Governor Lee said, “If you have to change all of the people who were moderated when you were the former governor, you must change all public officials in Gyeonggi Province. Isn’t it natural for those who were there to be loyal to the governor at that time?” Governor Lee added on his Twitter that day, “I look forward to the Gyeonggi Credit Guarantee Foundation, led by Chairman Lee, as a strong partner between small and medium-sized businesses, small business owners, and neighbors in need.” In the first year of his appointment, Chairman Lee, who was decided to take office, secured the largest contribution of 105.9 billion won since its founding, with the largest guarantee supply since its founding of 2,8272 trillion won to 87,000 companies in Gyeonggi Province, and implemented the nation’s first guarantee product without a guarantee fee. have. In recognition of these achievements, Gyeonggi Shinbo recorded’A grade’ in both the management evaluation of public institutions in Gyeonggi Province and the evaluation of the head of the institution in 2020. Chairman Lee said, “In the new year, as the Governor focuses on economic recovery, which is suffering from Corona 19, we will provide support so that SMEs and small business owners can regain vitality.” By Hong Yong-deok, staff reporter [email protected]
