The ministry aims to scrutinize whether local officials committed acts of corruption in the course of arresting and punishing these people.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The source said the Ministry of State Security carries out inspections of local branches along the border every year, but this year\u2019s inspection is 1.5 times larger than the one conducted last year.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cAnd because the inspectors coming down from Pyongyang are untainted young people in their 30s and 40s, even cadres [in the border region] are sweating bullets,\u201d he said.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The source further noted that the Ministry of State Security\u2019s inspection efforts in Yanggang Province will continue until the end of the year.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><i>Please direct any comments or questions about this article to dailynkenglish@uni-media.net.<\/i><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailynk.com\/20221103-2\/\"><i>Read in Korean<\/i><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>According to a Daily NK source in Yanggang Province on Thursday, the Ministry of State Security has been conducting an inspection of \u201csecurity-related activities by security agencies in Yanggang Province\u201d since mid-October.\u00a0 The inspection is focusing on the departments and divisions of the ministry\u2019s provincial branch, as well as on the local branches of major [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":133,"featured_media":50541,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"wikipediapreview_detectlinks":true,"footnotes":""},"categories":[67],"tags":[222,273,3243],"class_list":["post-53200","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-news","tag-border","tag-corruption","tag-crime-corruption"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v27.7 (Yoast SEO v27.9) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>N.
