The Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport said on the 1st that it will hold a "special performance and reward money public audition" to select civil servants who have produced outstanding, tangible results in the land and transport sector, and will recruit a "citizen jury" to take part directly in the judging.
The "special performance and reward money" program was introduced across all ministries this year to provide exceptional compensation to civil servants with outstanding results, thereby strengthening competitiveness and accountability in the civil service and actively uncovering policy outcomes that the public can feel.
Those eligible for rewards are civil servants affiliated with the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport who have contributed to promoting the interests of the state and the people, enhancing administrative efficiency and transparency, and maintaining public safety and order. The final top performers will receive up to 30 million won in prize money.
The Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport (MOLIT) will conduct the core "promotion of the interests of the state and the people" institutional sector of this award as a public audition via a live YouTube broadcast, with the "citizen jury" recruited this time participating directly in the judging. This aims to enhance administrative credibility and select practical outcomes that meet public expectations by having the public, as policy beneficiaries, take part directly in the evaluation process.
The Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport (MOLIT) will recruit a "citizen jury" of 200 people in total. Any citizen aged 19 or older who wishes to participate can apply from that day until the 15th via MOLIT's On-Tong Plaza or Sotong24.
Citizen jurors will be selected by random draw from among applicants, taking age groups into account. They will serve for about one year, and participants will receive small prizes by lottery.
Nam Young-woo, Deputy Minister for Planning and Coordination at the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport (MOLIT), said, "We ask for your active participation and support for the citizen jury so that we can actively reflect the people's voices in evaluating policy outcomes and realize transparent and trustworthy land and transport administration."
