They reportedly criticized that workplaces along the province&#8217;s fisheries and seas had the most chronic problems.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The source said the meeting pointed out that among agencies and enterprises along the sea, there have been repeated violations of process procedures for issuing fishery entry licenses for the last 20 years since the Arduous March, and corruption such as bribe-taking had become commonplace.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Moreover, the meeting also reportedly said that it has become \u201cnatural\u201d for the Second Department of local branches of the Ministry of Social Security to take bribes for issuing travel permits.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The meeting also made some pointed commentary that continued corruption was leading to social hostility on the part of powerless enterprises and poorer citizens who complain of mistaken state policies.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It went even further, slamming how principles had disappeared in economic management and general social order, including in the process procedures for sales of products by local production units and the order for the supply of oil, which now take place only through bribes of money or cigarettes and personal relationships.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The source said the meeting \u201cdeclared war, intensifying punishments for illegal behavior before the law, saying that there can be an ethos only when unjust practices that have continued for decades are eliminated from the entire province and each local unit draws up plans to comply with the law.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In fact, the province has begun warning that after the meeting, it will never simply overlook unjust behavior, and that it will strongly punish wrongdoing to root out deep-seated problems.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">According to the Rodong Sinmun, the 21st Plenary Meeting of the 14th Standing Committee of the Supreme People&#8217;s Assembly adopted the law on the prevention of violation of the order of procedure, with the law reflecting \u201cthe legal demand for strengthening the order of procedure such as rationalizing the order of procedure in economic management and the whole of society and making institutions, enterprises, organizations and citizens obey the law obligatorily.\u201d<\/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\/20221219-2\/\"><i>Read in Korean<\/i><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>North Hamgyong Province held a meeting early this month to discuss the implementation of the \u201claw on the prevention of violation of the order of procedure,\u201d Daily NK has learned.
