The National Election Commission’s comprehensive investigation into allegations of preferential recruitment revealed that the children of four retired executives were employed by the National Election Commission, where their fathers worked.
Look at the data presented by the National Election Commission to the Office of Representative Jeon Bong-min, a member of the Public Administration and Security Committee of the National Assembly, as a result of a full survey of former and current employees of the Electoral Commission from grade 5 or higher, a total of 4 people retired, including 2 Incheon City Election Commission, 1 Chungbuk Provincial Election Commission, and 1 Chungnam Provincial Election Commission. A child of a civil servant was employed by the Metropolitan Election Commission where his father works.
In the Electoral Commission of Incheon Metropolitan City, two children of executives were hired for experience at the 7th grade in 2011 and the 8th grade in 2021, respectively.
These are the 4th level civil servants who were also identified in the National Electoral Commission’s own special audit, as well as the 6 former and current executive officers who were suspected earlier.
After an emergency meeting on the 31st of last month, the National Electoral Commission said, “4 people in the current situation had a parent-child relationship, and a total of 10 people, including 6 retired people, had , child relation.” is implemented.”
Unlike the case of former Secretary-General Park Chan-jin and former Deputy Secretary-General Song Bong-seop, the former lawmaker believes they are directly employed by the provincial election commission that their father is belong to him, and that the favorable situation is greater.
In addition, former legislators explained that their children would have been employed at the time they were working because the 4th grade civil servants of the Provincial Election Commission are usually responsible for the manager’s position and do not change the place of work.
The National Electoral Commission intends to decide whether to request an additional investigation based on the results of the investigation, as it is likely that more people will be involved in the counting process in the future.
