Mr. A, who was in charge of production cost settlement at the National Assembly Broadcasting, discovered something strange.



The lighting was not installed like this during the broadcast of the debate held at the National Assembly Hall, but the production cost statement said that the lighting director was paid an allowance.

's not just this.



In many cases, the name written in the work diary was different from the name of the person who received the production fee.



It was written that the work was done as a full-time employee, and the pay was supposed to be paid by freelancers.



In this way, between 2017 and 2020, the amount of money paid to five freelancers was about 95 million won, only the amount identified by Mr. A.



Mr. A reported to the Auditor's Office of the National Assembly Secretariat, a higher institution, along with evidence in February.



However, the Office of Audit and Inspection only refunded 32 million won, about 1/3 of the amount received.



This is because the freelancers complained that they were being paid in the name of their salaries.



However, the regulations require that freelancers be paid according to the number of productions, not monthly.
