[세종=이데일리 이명철 기자] Some employees of the Korea Land and Housing Corporation (LH), who are suspected of speculation in the third new city, are being deprived of their qualifications as members of the Nonghyup. If the investigation process reveals the situation of illegal loans by LH employees, it is also reviewing measures to collect loans.
Nonghyup Chairman Lee Seong-hee attended a report on the status of work held at the Agriculture, Forestry, Livestock, Food, Marine and Fisheries Committee of the National Assembly in Seoul on the 23rd. He said, “Because we have to hold a general meeting of delegates in order to withdraw (members) forcibly, we are working on (related work).”
Recently, some LH employees are known to have received loans from North Siheung Nonghyup to purchase farmland in Siheung District of Gwangmyeong. Regarding this, Rep. Eh pointed out, “The employees who received the loan from North Siheung Nonghyup were (Nonghyup) non-members, but after acquiring farmland through the loan, they obtained the qualifications as a member of the Nonghyup.” .
If the loan process is not normal, such as the submission of a false agricultural management plan, it is expected that the loan will be returned. Chairman Lee replied, “(In the case of illegal loans), we will have to take recovery measures” to the question about the measures taken when illegal loans were found in relation to the LH incident.
Regarding the new city loan, Lee Ga-ho also asked, “Even if there is no legal defect in the loan itself (related to speculation in Gwangmyeong Siheung District), it is certain that the loan will be used illegally, but is it possible to recover it?”
In response, Son Byung-hwan, chairman of Nonghyup Financial Group, explained, “Generally, when you make a loan agreement, the purpose of the fund is decided.
