YULIN, Taiwan –– Yulin County Magistrate Su Chi-fen ranks 11th out of all 23 county chie

fs in Taiwan in the Ministry of Justice’s (MOJ’s) anti-corruption survey, which was revealed Monday.

The survey, dubbed “Research on Indicators and Reform of the National Integrity System,” was conducted by the non-governmental organization, Transparency International Taiwan, for the MOJ.

According to the survey, 54.5 percent of the people in Yulin County approved of Su’s integrity, a significant improvement over her predecessors who long found themselves at the bottom of the survey.

At the same time, only 35.1 percent said they were satisfied with the transparency of the Yulin County government, compared to 9.6 percent who considered it average, 28.4 percent had no comment, and 26.8 percent said they were not satisfied.

Overall, people found “illegal influence peddling” to be the most seriously corrupt kind of behavior, followed by outright “bribery” and elaborate “wining and dining” activities, according to the Yulin County Civil Service Ethics Office.

Magistrate Su said the county government needs to reflect on why only 35.1 percent of the people were satisfied with its performance and strive to eliminate the culture of influence peddling, adding that priority should be given to educating people about how to report corruption since nearly 50 percent answered that they were unaware of how to do so.
