Choi Jae-hyung “Is the presidential pledge not covered and justified?”


[앵커]

“It is true that the President’s pledge and policy implementation must be properly carried out,” said Choi Jae-hyung, chief auditor at the National Assembly yesterday (22th). At the same time, he asked the Democratic National Assembly member who raised a question about the policy investigation, “Aren’t you saying that the promises are justified in any way?” It is interpreted as having poured out intentional remarks about the passport’s backlash against the Wolseong nuclear power plant audit and investigation.

Director Choi also reaffirmed the legitimacy of the audit, saying that the auditor at Wolseong Nuclear Power Plant saw whether the law was followed in the course of policy implementation.

This is Choi Soo-yeon.

Auditor General Jae-hyung Choi expressed his position on the investigation and audit of the Wolseongwonjeon.

They replied that they disagree with the point that it is impeding the fulfillment of their commitments.

[박성준/더불어민주당 의원 : 정책에 대해서 수사를 하고 법의 잣대를 들이댈 경우에 공무원이 일을 할 수 공간이 없어진다는…]

[최재형/감사원장 : 공무원의 행정행위에 법의 잣대를 들이대선 안된다는 표현에는 동의하기 어렵습니다. (공무원 행정 행위도) 법에 정해진 절차에 따라서 투명하게 해야 됩니다.]

Then he asked.

[최재형/감사원장 : 공약하신 사항을 어떤 방법을 통해서든 그냥 수단과 방법을 가리지 않고 모두 정당화된다 이런 주장은 아니시죠?]

The ruling party has always refuted the legitimacy of claiming that the post-nuclear policy was the president’s election pledge.

He emphasized again that he did not judge the policy itself as if he was conscious of the criticism of the passport.

[최재형/감사원장 : 상당히 오해가 있으신 것 같아서. 정책에 관해서 저희들이 판단한 게 아닙니다. 정책 수행 과정에서의 적법성을 본 겁니다.]

Most of the audit committee members replied that they also agreed to send the investigation reference material to the prosecution after the Wolseong Unit 1 audit.

[소병철/더불어민주당 의원 : 감사위원에서 정식으로 논의한 거 맞습니까?]

[최재형/감사원장 : 수사 참고자료 보내는 것에 대해서 이의를 제기하신 분이 아무도 없었습니다.]

The investigation into the suspicion of manipulating the economic feasibility of the Wolseong nuclear power plant is approaching the end.

On the 9th, when former Minister Paik Woon-gyu’s arrest warrant was dismissed, the prosecution, which increased the burden, is expected to decide within this month whether or not to summon the so-called’supervisor of the Blue House’, including former industrial policy secretary Chae Hee-bong.
