The officials went on to say that while measures need to be taken to implement policies that can reduce the burdens of raising children, these discussions, not to mention the implementation of such policies, was not happening.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Provincial officials further said although they were working to ensure the provision of energy and supplies so that city and county animal farms and dairy factories could operate at full capacity, they had failed to properly do so in January, and would work harder to accomplish this going forward.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Provincial officials also criticized Hyesan officials who had allegedly pilfered dairy products meant for children.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The officials most sharply slammed the failure of Hyesan officials to properly provide children with dairy goods earmarked for them, and even suggested taking \u201clegal action\u201d against officials who pilfered the products.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">According to the source, the meeting spent quite a bit of time discussing how Hyesan residents with children had lodged a report to the provincial party committee last month alleging official corruption among Hyesan officials. The locals complained that they were not receiving dairy goods despite the party\u2019s call for the provision of dairy products to childrearing families.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In fact, Hyesan residents had filed a complaint to the provincial party committee \u2014 complete with certified witness testimony \u2014 after learning that officials with the municipal party committee\u2019s \u201clabor organization department\u201d consumed dairy products produced in local factories from September to January. The dairy products were meant for families with children.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The source said the provincial officials sharply criticized the local officials\u2019 actions, and declared they would mount an \u201cintensive\u201d investigation into the municipal party committee\u2019s labor organization department.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Provincial officials also dragged before the podium two factory officials who allegedly stole dairy products for the labor organization department officials and subjected them to a \u201cpublic ideological struggle.\u201d Ultimately, the two officials were turned over to the Ministry of Social Security after the meeting.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">After the meeting, some locals said that the party is protecting its own by punishing only &#8220;administrative officials&#8221; while letting the party officials go, even though the factory officials who pilfered the dairy products and municipal party committee officials who consumed them were practically one and the same.<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"td-post-header\"><em>Please direct any comments or questions about this article to dailynkenglish@uni-media.net.<\/em><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div class=\"td-post-header\"><em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailynk.com\/20220208-5\/\">Read in Korean<\/a><\/em><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Yanggang Province\u2019s party committee recently took officials in Hyesan to task for failing to properly execute the party\u2019s childcare policies, Daily NK has learned.\u00a0 A source in Yanggang Province told Daily NK on Monday that the provincial party committee called in all party and government cadres from downtown Hyesan for a meeting at the municipal [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":129,"featured_media":50534,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"wikipediapreview_detectlinks":true,"footnotes":""},"categories":[67,1360],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-50533","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-news","category-society"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v27.7 (Yoast SEO v28.1) -
