On the 16th, SBS reported in two reports on the'poor land compensation system' that was recently pointed out as a cause of the LH speculation suspicion.
Last year's inspection of the Corruption Prevention Promotion Team at the Office of the State Affairs Coordination revealed that public institutions such as LH had paid 23.4 billion won unfairly in the process of land compensation. It means that it has not been redeemed.
Even though it was impossible to redeem 12 billion won due to an employee's mistake, the employee in charge also reported that he received only warning measures because the disciplinary prescription had expired.
▶[Exclusive] Paying 23.4 billion won through an absurd examination...
I couldn't save a penny
▶[Exclusive] 12 billion of public funds were accidentally blown...
The person in charge was only a warning, and
LH released the clarification material after the report.
This is an explanation to the effect that the checklists of the State Affairs Coordination Office at that time were reflected in this year's audit plan, and that we plan to take action through an internal audit.
However, there was a lot of difference from the contents of our report to accept LH's explanation as it is.
First, let's put the explanations from LH in the original text, and point out each one.
(LH position)
① (Regarding the redemption measure) Out of a total of 23.4 billion won, the amount pointed out as a redemption target was 11.4 billion won.
Of these, the amount of LH is 8.1 billion won, and it is a matter that requires self-audit for false cultivation and illegal business for redemption, which is different from the report that "there is less than a total of 23.4 billion won".
1. Doesn't it mean that you couldn't get a penny because it's'a matter that needs to be taken after self-audit'?
The purpose of LH's explanation is that there is a difference between the facts and the fact that the report that'less than 23.4 billion won't be saved' is due to an additional self-audit to take action.
It's not a final sentence, it's an ongoing one, and it's like "I'm doing it or I'm going to do it, I'm not doing it."
The embarrassing thing is that there is no definitive expression of'I can't get it' or that it is impossible to redeem it anywhere in the SBS report.
The key point of the report is the fact that the redemption has not been made until the present time, eight months after the State Affairs Coordination Office pointed out in July of last year.
Press reports are based on the present.
The report also included that additional self-audit was required and that only 12 billion won of 23.4 billion won could not be redeemed.
Follow-up measures, such as redemption measures, will be finalized through the agency's own audit.
Last year's inspection by the Corruption Prevention Promotion Team at the Office of the State Affairs Coordination Office is close to the first investigation by a top institution, and the follow-up measures are carried out by the relevant institution through specific and rigorous demonstrations.
However, it is just as excuse to argue that "I haven't lost a penny" as an excuse for self-audit, which is not in progress and even nothing has been done.
I pointed out that I had not done my homework so far, but since I'm going to do it in the future, Woogi said that I didn't do it.
In the end, LH's above explanation seems to be an explanation close to a play of words, subtly changing'I can't get it' to'I can't get it'.
I don't know if I accidentally misread'I couldn't get it' as'I couldn't get it' or if I changed it intentionally, but either way is just worrisome.
If you read it wrong, you will be blamed for your lack of skill, but if you did it on purpose, it would be even more serious.
This is because it is a trick to avoid immediate criticism and to avoid responsibility.
② (Establishment of self-audit plan) In February, when the inspection items were notified, additional audits could not be carried out due to the spread of Corona 19, so they were reflected in the annual audit plan establishment (February) in '21. The report that it has not finalized its own audit plan is different from the facts.
2. LH self-audit, can you really do it in May?
LH said that the report that'the self-audit plan could not be finalized' is different from the facts because its own audit to recover unfair compensation is held in May of this year.
However, the reporter's opinion is that this is also not an accurate and honest answer.
The fact that the related self-audit was reflected in this year's audit plan, and that it was originally scheduled to be conducted in May, was confirmed during the interview process.
However, in the process of additional coverage, the remarks of multiple LH officials were cross-confirmed and came to an article by saying, "Although it is held in May, it is highly likely to be canceled due to the suspicion of LH speculation this time."
It was confirmed that LH responded with the same purpose to a related inquiries from the office of Assemblyman Kim Yoon-deok of the National Assembly's National Land, Infrastructure and Transport Committee, which is an imprisonment institution.
LH, which used to be like that, now released a press release saying, "An audit is scheduled to be held in May" is a blindfold.
It is also not strictly correct to explain that reports that the audit plan could not be'confirmed' because the audit is scheduled to be conducted is different from the facts.
At least with regard to the work of public institutions,'planned' and'confirmed' have different meanings.
It can be said that only when the number of people, budget, period and scope are clearly decided, and the degree of plan to start one day is released.
However, LH responded, "Nothing has been done" when asked how long it has progressed.
The answer that it is confirmed or the same just because we have one line in the annual audit plan is a close answer.
Like LH's initial answer, it is questionable whether LH, which has been messed with by this speculation allegation, will be able to conduct an audit in May as scheduled.
If this report results in an audit in May as scheduled, that would also be a pure function of media coverage.
LH's unfairly paid money is not tax, but it is of a public nature.
It is natural that the reporter, as a member of the people, also wishes to be redeemed as much as possible.
In fact, we plan to follow up reporting to see if the audit is properly conducted in May.
③ (Implementation in accordance with the checklist action plan) The action plan for the opinions of the National Intelligence Service Office has already been submitted ('20.9), the improvement of the compensation system has been immediately reflected, and the investigation request action has been completed ('20.November).
3. Completion of the investigation request, saying that'measures need to be taken after self-audit'?
Yes, the reporter also obtained and read the LH action plan for the intellectual opinions of the National Intelligence Service during the interview process.
We also confirmed ways to improve the compensation system, which are detailed monthly.
The question is, how far the improvement measures submitted at this time have been implemented.
Half a year has passed since the submission in September last year.
This part, too, won't be solved just because you have a plan.
And there was a case of alleged speculation by LH employees.
Some employees submitted false agricultural management plans for compensation, and photos of planting willow saplings angered the whole people.
This was done by employees who knew the poor compensation system better than anyone else.
Still, I would like to ask if you can mention the improvement of the compensation system.
Of course, it can be unfair for LH.
Some of the things that have happened recently may have happened before the compensation system improvement measures were put in place, and others may have happened after that.
However, it is self-evident that if proper monitoring and inspection had been carried out from the beginning, the situation would not have come to this point.
Since last year's criticism from the Office of State Affairs Coordination, we cannot but ask how sincerity was LH's compensation system improvement measures.
I understand that the investigation request action has also been carried out in only a part of what is possible at the present time.
Nevertheless, the reporter thinks that the expression that'the investigation request has been completed' is a blindfolded answer that is close to self-contradictory or self-contradiction.
In relation to this matter, the State Affairs Coordination Office ordered an investigation request for 251 cases, including landowners and cultivators that were confirmed to be false cultivation.
However, LH immediately replied in this explanatory material No. 1 that it is necessary to take action after self-audit on whether false farming or illegal business has occurred.
This means that if you want to make an investigation request, you have to look a little bit more into whether or not false cultivation exists.
LH's completion of the investigation request is only a few of the points of the findings.
Furthermore, to say that something needs to be done after a self-audit, and that something has already been done, puts only the advantageous ones ahead of the disadvantages.
LH, are you prepared to cope with national anger and suspicion?
There is a rule called'the law of 1:29:300'.
It is also called Heinrich's Law, but it is a concept that was derived from the analysis of numerous industrial accidents and that before one death, there were 29 minor injuries caused by similar causes, and before that there were 300 potential injuries that were almost injured by the same cause.
This means that all major accidents must have pre-signs from the same cause before.
At the time of last year's announcement, the results of the inspection by the Corruption Prevention Promotion Team of the State Affairs Coordination Office may have been both a precursor and a precursor to the alleged speculation of LH.
The facts that have been uncovered in recent years show that the LH incident is not simply a result of the deviation of some employees.
The distorted side of our society, where the few who have access to inside information only pursuing financial interests while neglecting professional ethics, conscience, and social responsibility, is only being exposed.
Structural causes are behind all social phenomena.
Needless to say, it is a well-known fact that the poor compensation system contributed to this situation.
Although not all reflected in the article, the compensation mistakes such as LH revealed by the inspection of the State Affairs Coordination Office are lax, and a sigh comes out.
You can see that it is a forest just by looking at the aerial photographs on the Internet, but we paid compensation only to believe that it was farmland, or paid compensation to the land filled with garbage without having to check the site once, and incurred hundreds of millions of won additional garbage disposal costs.
Even with an unfair payment of nearly 12 billion dollars, the story of being blown away without even redeeming it is even absurd.
It was also revealed that some of the LH employees who were suspicious of speculation this time were engaged in compensation.
These are just some of them who said they would grow rice in their papers and planted a bunch of seedlings.
You may have already noticed that you aren't checking properly anyway.
The reason why the LH speculation suspicion has risen so loudly is that it fueled the anger of the people who are already suffering from the real estate craze.
It can be unfair for LH employees, facing the biggest crisis since its inception.
I personally think that there are only a few of the employees in question, and there will be more employees who work silently and sincerely in their positions.
However, it cannot be said that LH is not responsible for this incident arousing public outrage.
If so, it is the way to take responsibility to answer the allegations raised honestly and sincerely and then find a solution.
It is neither right nor wise to come up with misleading clarifications to avoid immediate criticism and escape responsibility.
I will continue to report and report until the unfair compensation is properly cleared and an efficient land compensation system is established.
