In particular, the power of the people is the fact that the Kim clan civil servant was the prime minister or a level 5 civil servant that could be employed, and the Ministry of Public Administration and Security guidelines stating that private conduct for the spouses of the heads of local governments of civil servants was impossible. ‘privatization’.
“Kim Hye-kyung, Prime Minister-level training … Call for investigation by the Ministry of Public Administration and Security and the Board of Audit and Inspection”
Rep. Park Soo-young, who serves as a secretary in the Special Committee on National Inspection of Lee Jae-myung, the People’s Power, raised such a problem at the 12th meeting of the special committee held at the National Assembly on the morning of the 25th.
Rep. Park said, “It has already been reported that his wife, Kim, had a secretary for public officials while candidate Lee was serving as governor of Gyeonggi Province. It turned out that a person came to Gyeonggi-do, was promoted to level 5 in the province, and served as his wife,” he pointed out.
Rep. Park said, “The person who is trained by the 5th level is the prime minister. The minister’s training is the 6th grade, and the president’s driving driver is the 4th grade,” he said.
Rep. Park, who presupposed that “there is a guideline from the Ministry of Public Administration and Security that says “there is a guideline for the private conduct of the spouse of the head of a local government”, said, “According to these guidelines, the spouse of the group head cannot use an official vehicle, It says it can’t be done,” he explained. “However, it appears that Mr. Bae, who had been practicing for various events and outings, continued to practice,” Park pointed out.
“This case is one aspect of how Lee and his wife think of public power and how much they are privatizing public power,” Park said.
Rep. Park also demanded an immediate investigation, saying, “The Ministry of Public Administration and Security should immediately investigate this matter, and the Board of Audit and Inspection should also be audited.”
Rep. Park, who has been in public office for over 30 years, including serving as administrative governors of Gyeonggi Province during the days of Gyeonggi Province governors Kim Moon-su and Nam Gyeong-pil of the Saenuri Party (currently the People’s Power), said, “The two (former governors Kim and Nam) are spouses’ secretaries. There was no such thing at all, and in the case of former Governor Kim, his wife was driving an old SM5 vehicle that was over 10 years old.”
“However, the fact that the spouse of this candidate had left a level 5 assistant was really not the basic attitude of public office,” said Rep. Park, who repeatedly demanded an investigation by the Ministry of Public Administration and Security and the Board of Audit and Inspection.
“Lee Jae-myung, cash execution of 140 million won for business promotion … Impossible”
Rep. Park also pointed out that Candidate Lee executed his business expenses in an opaque manner when he was governor of Gyeonggi Province. Generally, business promotion expenses are transparently executed by card and cash cannot be used except in unavoidable cases that can be verified. However, when Lee was in office, suspicions arose that regular cash withdrawals were captured around the 20th of every month.
As a result of analyzing the details of the business promotion expenses that Rep. Lee paid while serving as the governor of Gyeonggi-do, Assemblyman Park analyzed the business promotion expenses of Candidate Lee. From July 2018 to September 2021, Candidate Lee paid 140 million won in cash over 192 times over three years. fetched and used. In addition, 46.5 million won of the amount executed in cash was withdrawn 29 times of 1.5 million won each and 1 million won 3 times around the 20th of each month in the name of ‘encourage employees to perform’.
In this regard, Rep. Park was hit directly, saying, “It is not possible in a normal public office to continuously withdraw 1.5 million won on the 20th of every month.” He continued, “I have been in public service for more than 30 years, but in principle, cash cannot be used for business promotion expenses. In case of unavoidable use of cash, all receipts must be attached to the written consent form, but Gyeonggi Province does not provide data on this matter.” criticized
Rep. Park pointed out, “This is a point where there is no choice but to raise a reasonable suspicion that 1.5 million won in cash was subtracted from business promotion expenses and was given to someone. “, he emphasized.
He also raised his voice that the Board of Audit and Inspection should immediately conduct an investigation into cash use in accordance with the Ministry of Public Administration and Security’s directive on local government accounting management and the Ministry of Strategy and Finance’s budget and fund management plan implementation guidelines.

But how is the name of No. 1? “If you paid through your own Cheonhwa Dongin No. 2, it would have been a gift between a corporation and an individual,” he emphasized.
