It is known that there is a difference of opinion over the appointment of a member of the Board of Audit and Inspection in the background of the lack of progress following a meeting between President Moon Jae-in and President-elect Yoon Seok-yeol was canceled once.
President-elect Yoon’s side also raises suspicions that he is trying to dissuade the current government’s audit by appointing a pro-female audit committee member to enforce the appointment of the Blue House.
Jang Je-won “Building a cause to enforce the appointment of audit committee members”
On the 23rd, in front of the Financial Supervisory Service training center in Toongui-dong, Jongno-gu, Seoul, in front of the Financial Supervisory Service training center, Jang Je-won, head of the Office of the Elected Secretary-General, related to President Moon’s appointment of Lee Chang-yong, head of the International Monetary Fund (IMF) Asia-Pacific Division to replace Bank of Korea Governor Lee Ju-yeol, “It seems only to build a justification to enforce the appointment of an audit committee member of the Board of Audit and Inspection. No. I don’t know why I’m doing this.”
This was a rebuttal when a high-ranking official at the Blue House explained, “I am announcing the nominee following hearing the opinions of the elected.” The Blue House and the elected officials are fighting the truth over the nomination of the director, such as “I called and laughed 10 minutes ago” (Director Jang Je-won), “When I said that I was announcing the salaries, (the elected) said that there was never an agreement” (a key official of the Blue House). .
The view of President-elect Yoon is that Lee Cheol-hee, the chief of staff at the Blue House, who coordinates the meeting between President Moon and President-elect Yoon, does not mention specific names of candidates for the audit committee during working-level consultations with Chief of Staff Chang. It is read with the intention of exercising personnel rights under the Moon Jae-in administration, whose term of office has not ended.
When asked if he had discussed the candidate for the audit committee, Chief of Staff Jang replied, “I haven’t talked regarding people at all.” To the question, ‘Did Chief of Staff Jang not mention it at the same time (the Blue House),’ he reassured the answer, “Yes.”
靑, enforce the appointment of audit committee members to create a defense system for the government
The Blue House is said to have informed the elected party of its intention to appoint one of the two new audit committee members. The Audit Committee is composed of the Chairman of the Board of Audit and Inspection and 6 members of the Audit Committee, with a quorum of 4 for decision-making. Of the five current auditors, three of them, including Chairman Jae-hae Choi and members Kim In-hoe and Im Chan-woo, are classified as pro-female.
Some observers speculate that the plan is to prevent the next government from auditing the Moon Jae-in government by appointing a person from the Lawyers for a Democratic Society or the Korean Law Research Association.
Chief Secretary Jang said, “I can tell you what it means to be a member of the Board of Audit and Inspection. If you look at the people who have been appointed to the Board of Audit and Inspection, it’s not that simple,” he said.
Chief of Staff Jang said, “It is not a matter of whether one person can’t (appoint) even that.” He added, “It is not possible to suggest reasonable measures for such things, and that cannot be a condition, but (the Blue House) must approach us with sincerity and trust. “he emphasized.
An official from Yoon’s side said, “(The audit committee member) is the one who will ultimately work with the elected candidate. Are you trying to force (appointment)? It’s more than what you’re afraid of.”
The official said, “There are 7 audit committee members, 2 of them are civil servants from the Board of Audit and Inspection, and 3 of them are people who are clearly appointed by President Moon Jae-in. I can’t help but doubt that what I’m doing is focused here.”
