- 6 years ago
The National Assembly officially wraps up its annual audit of government ministries and agencies today.
The Unification Ministry is under the spotlight, with rival parties scrutinizing the Moon administration's policies on North Korea, and especially President Moon's ratification of the Pyeongyang Declaration and inter-Korean military agreement.
At the audit of the Ministry of Economy and Finance, lawmakers are expected to clash over the government's minimum wage hike, the high jobless rate and its income-led growth policy.
At the Legislation and Judiciary Committee, the debate is expected to center on the judicial power abuse scandal involving the Supreme Court and its former chief justice, who has been accused of using high-profile trials as leverage in possible negotiations with the former Park Geun-hye administration.
Most of the parliamentary committees will conclude their audit today, but three committees will continue their audits up until November 7th.
The National Assembly will now get ready to review the budget for next year.
