Yesterday (28th) at the National Assembly, lawmakers belonging to the Democratic Party's 'Like Association' and Justice Minister Han Dong-hoon had a battle over the personnel verification function handed over to the Ministry of Justice.

Democratic lawmakers accused a minister of taking over the personnel authority, and one minister countered that personnel verification was not a power but rather a duty.

Members of the Democratic Party's first-choice group, 'Like-Hoe', insisted that the Ministry of Justice's personnel information management team, which is in charge of verifying public officials, did not even have bylaws.



Minister of Justice Han Dong-hoon did not back down, saying, "There were no bylaws in the previous administration."



[Kim Nam-guk / Democratic Party Member: Where are you doing what you were commissioned to do?

This isn't even a local grocery store.]



[Han Dong-hoon / Minister of Justice: Are you saying that you've been doing it like a hole-in-the-wall store for the past 5 years?

Isn't it?]



[Rep. Kim Nam-guk/Democratic Party: I don't know that.]



Rep. Choi Kang-wook took issue with the attitude of Minister Han and pressured him not to answer the question like he did when he was a prosecutor.



[Choi Kang-wook / Democratic Party Member: Is it a central administrative agency?]



[Han Dong-hoon / Justice Minister: Please tell me.]



[Choi Kang-wook / Democratic Party lawmaker: Talk about what you know is true or not.

What do you say, keep going.

I keep getting into the habit of being a prosecutor, and I think it's like I'm doing it because I have other thoughts...

As the offensive called the 'Communication Order' that took over the government's personnel rights continued, Minister Han responded like this.



[Han Dong-hoon/Minister of Justice: From my point of view, it is close to a burden and responsibility, and it is difficult to understand in what way it becomes authority or power.]



Democratic lawmakers include Kwon Seong-dong, the People's Power floor leader, Jeon Hyun-hee, who was appointed during the last administration. He also insisted on the need for an investigation, saying that he pressured the chairman and the Korea Communications Commission Chairman Han Sang-hyeok to resign.
