National Assembly to hold last 3 confirmation hearings
- 5 years ago
South Korea's National Assembly is set to hold its last batch of confirmation hearings for President Moon Jae-in's cabinet picks.
In the hot seat Wednesday are the nominees tapped to head the ministries of SMES, interior and ICT.
SME minister nominee Park Young-sun will likely be questioned over allegations,... such as late payments of tax,... owning multiple homes as well as traffic law violations.
Interior minister nominee Chin Young face allegations he made vast profits on land investments,... while ICT minister nominee Cho Dong-ho will likely be grilled over suspicions of land speculation.
Park and Chin are sitting lawmakers of the ruling party.
But that doesn't mean their hearings will be an easy ride,... with the opposition bloc vowing to tightly screen the candidates.
The main opposition Liberty Korea Party has even demanded that the hearing be delayed for Park,...as she has refused to submit some documents they requested.
