The Anti-Corruption & Civil Rights Commission (Chairperson: Jeon Hyun-Heui, ACRC) dispatched ‘Mobile Shinmungo(Outreach Bus)’ to Muju-gun, Jeollabuk-do on 26th to listen to and address complaints of farming and fishing villages hit by COVID-19 pandemic.

By using ‘Mobile Shinmungo(Outreach Bus)’ counseling bus, the ACRC has been visiting vulnerable groups suffering from difficulties caused by COVID-19 pandemic and vulnerable regions with limited access to administrative service, and learned their difficulties and addressed them.

As COVID-19 pandemic is prolonged and the number of confirmed cases is growing again, difficulties of farmers due to the sluggish domestic consumption are growing day by day. Against this backdrop, the ACRC plans to visit farming and fishing villages across the nation, staring from Muju-gun, Jeollabuk-do, by considering different characteristics in each region.

The commission will not just listen to the farmers and fishers, but also make continued efforts to provide practical support, such as offering help needed by farmers and improving unfair systems.

Director General Ahn Junho of Ombudsman Bureau said, “despite difficult situation amid COVID-19 pandemic, the ACRC will pay close attention even to the smallest voices by visiting different regions to mitigate inconvenience of people at least a little bit.”
