Gyeonggi Province Governor Lee Jae-myung made a controversy with a remark to the effect of "the national sentiment may be rejected" today (19th), the day of the National Assembly's audit of Gyeonggi Province.



Governor Lee said on Facebook, "The National Assembly has the authority to audit'state administration, but does not have the authority to audit local government's self-government affairs," and "the law also limits the scope of audit to projects supported by the state commission and the state budget." Said.



“As the National Assembly is a place that makes laws, we must take the lead in keeping the law, and it is a law that we have made ourselves, so we must follow it better.” “From next year, we will protect our public officials who are struggling too much, and the principle and fairness of the law and principles are observed. For the sake of the world, I have to seriously consider the specifications of the governmental audit (data request and Q&A) for self-government affairs."



He further expressed his intention to sue the Constitutional Court, saying, "I am curious about what judgments the Constitutional Court will make on the'national audit' without legal basis for the'autonomous government's affairs of the National Assembly."



Article 7 of the National Audit and Investigation Act stipulates that the subject of national audit is designated as special and metropolitan roads among national agencies and local governments, but is a project that supports the budget, such as government commissions and subsidies.



With this, Governor Lee explained the background, saying, "We are worried about what will happen tomorrow night for our public officials who have suffered from swine fever enough that the related public officials have died and became green kimchi in response to Corona 19."



However, some have interpreted that this is because Governor Lee has emerged as a prominent presidential candidate and is concerned that it will turn into a'political bureau' rather than a'political bureau' and transform into a field of political dispute for the governor.



Today's administrative and safety committee's bureaucratic war broke out over this.



Rep. Park Wan-soo said, "There were no local governments or national organizations that could not cooperate (for submitting data) like Gyeonggi-do," and "There are even circumstances in which the administrative officer blocked the submission of data."



He said, "I can't just go over it," he said. "If there are any public officials concerned, they must file a complaint under the National Audit Relations Act and take disciplinary action."



In addition, Democratic Party Rep. Han Jeong-ae also asked for the purpose of posting, saying, "I posted an article on Facebook in the morning regarding the national sentiment..."



In response, the governor said, "I requested about 2,000 data, but some people requested it in the early morning yesterday. Then, I wrote that this morning because it hurts that the public officials have to wait and wake up all night to respond."



He added, "It's not that we don't want to cooperate, but because there are too many (sorry to the public officials), we posted it for cotton."
