Even on the 16th, the last day of the recommendation deadline for the high-ranking public officials criminal investigation agency of the women-night bargaining group, the opposition party finally refused to recommend the personnel. The Ministry of Public Transport was open to the possibility of a recommendation by the power of the people until midnight on this day, but it also started preparing for a re-request for personnel committee recommendation. The Minister of Public Transport Kim Jin-wook also revealed that he would set the’second deadline of about ten days’ again.
According to the Ministry of Public Affairs, the People’s Power did not recommend two personnel members of the “opposition party” until 6 pm this day. Earlier, on the 2nd, Deputy Minister Kim sent an official letter to the National Assembly on the 2nd, stating that “the opposition parties should each recommend two personnel members from the Ministry of Public Transport by the 16th.” In addition, while the Democratic Party recommended lawyers Ki-ju Na and Young-joong Oh on the 10th, the power of the people is still not giving an answer.
It is currently unlikely that the people’s strength will recommend a personnel committee member according to the deadline (midnight on the 16th). It is sticking to the argument that’unless the Democratic Party nominates a special inspector and a director of the North Korean Human Rights Foundation, even the personnel commissioner of the Ministry of Public Transport cannot recommend it.’ In fact, Ho-young Joo, in-hospital representative, said, “After the Democratic Party unilaterally revised the (Airborne) Act and appointed the chief of staff, it refused to cooperate. It turned the blame to the Democratic Party, arguing that it was a gangster-level act.
The Ministry of Public Affairs did not rule out the possibility that the people’s power would change their position at the last minute, and prepared for the number of cases in which they did not make recommendations. An official from the Ministry of Public Service said, “Because the exact recommendation deadline is midnight on the 16th, of course you have to wait until then.” I know.” Deputy Chief Kim also said on his way to work this morning, saying, “(If the power of the people does not recommend it), I will ask for it again.”
The selection of prosecutors from the airlift is carried out in the procedure of’documentation/interview review → personnel committee deliberation and recommendation → presidential appointment’. Currently, the Ministry of Public Transport appoints most of the external members and, if only the personnel committee is formed, it is possible to conduct document/interview screening. For this reason, the Ministry of Public Transport had the idea of finishing the recruitment of the investigative personnel in the next month, and starting the ‘investigation of the first case’ as early as April. However, re-request for recommendation is likely to cause significant disruption to such plans.
In the Democratic Party, there was a claim to the effect that’a personnel committee can be formed except for the personnel committee recommended by the people’s power.’ Democratic Party spokesman Heo Young said at a press conference, “What will happen if the people’s strength does not recommend personnel members until the end?” “We have no choice but to run the personnel committee independently”. In fact, in the fact that the current airlifting law only has a provision that the selection of prosecutors is decided with the approval of a majority of the enrolled members, there is an interpretation that “there is not necessarily an opposition recommendation member included in the text of the law.”
However, the airborne ministry drew a line on these claims. An official from the Ministry of Public Affairs said, “Deputy Director Kim said that even when he was a candidate, he would seek the cooperation of the opposition party as much as possible in the process of selecting prosecutors, including the formation of the personnel committee. I will try.”
