<Anchor> The



government has introduced additional measures to eradicate real estate speculation.

It was decided to'prohibit' LH employees from buying land for any purpose other than for actual use.

However, some point out that there is a limit to buying land in the name of another person or because measures for other public institutions including the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, and Transport are not available. 



The first news, this is reporter Kim Tae-hoon.



<Reporter> The



countermeasures the government came up immediately after the ministers' meeting yesterday (14th) focused on the internal control measures for LH.



First of all, the farmland owned by 20 suspected speculators discovered in the first joint investigation was to be forcibly disposed of according to the results of the investigation.



In addition, LH executives and employees have announced that they will not be able to live any land that is not intended for actual use, such as living in the future.



To this end, the government is reviewing ways to change the LH's internal HR regulations and the Public Officials Ethics Act. 



[Sae-Kyun Jeong/Prime Minister: (LH executives and employees) we will completely overhaul the internal control measures to prevent recurrence of illegal speculation.] A



separate system to constantly manage the land owned by employees is also created, and a thorough investigation before the designation of a new business district is established. I decided to proceed.



For information leakage, we plan to establish legal grounds for penalizing not only internal employees but also related outsiders.



It has also announced measures against the purchase of farmland, which has been degraded as an illegal means of dumping.



He said that he would thoroughly review the agricultural management plan and establish a farmland committee to ensure that areas concerned with speculation must undergo deliberation.



Prime Minister Jeong Sye-gyun emphasized the government's willingness to eradicate speculation, saying that even though the cows were lost, the barn must be repaired, as if conscious of the criticism of the announcement of the results of the first investigation, which only detected seven additional people.
