On the 6th it was revealed that the son of the Minister of Justice, Chu Mi-ae, had violated army regulations throughout the course of the military leave. Even if they followed the clarifications of Minister Chu’s son, they did not follow the proper procedure. Minister Chu’s son spent two consecutive sick days and personal sick leave for 23 days from June 5 to 27, 2017.
According to the Army’s “ Patient Management and Treatment Regulations (for display and use in peacetime) ” obtained by Congressman Yoo Sang-beom’s office, Minister Chu’s son violated most of Article 19 , which dictated medical approval from private medical institutions and took leave by request.
Article 19, paragraph 1, stipulates that “ a petition leave is allowed up to 10 days of the period of hospitalization provided for in the medical certificate, and if the period of treatment exceeds 10 days, admission to a military hospital is requested ” ‘. After being hospitalized for 3 days, it was discovered that he had stayed home. This is contrary to the regulation “to take measures to provide medical treatment in military hospitals as much as possible (Article 19, paragraph 2)”.
In addition, the Army regulations establish that in the case of sick leave for more than ten days, a leave order is issued (article 19, paragraph 3) after the resolution of the Medical Care Review Committee established in the hospital. military. Even this is possible only for “critical patients” who cannot be transferred to a military hospital, or if there is a risk of worsening their condition if they are transferred.
However, Minister Chu’s son extended his vacation without going through deliberation. In addition, the situation has been revealed that he was not even a “critical patient and difficult to transfer to a military hospital” after being operated. In fact, it is known that he visited a private hospital for just one day (June 21) to remove the stitches after the operation.
It is also a violation of the regulation that there are no records of the license of Minister Chu’s son. Article 20, paragraph 1, which specifies incidental measures to be taken after medical treatment in private medical institutions, stipulates that the confirmation of hospitalization and the medical bill (receipt) will be kept for 5 years, but no records will be kept. The opposition party argues that not only are Minister Chu’s son’s sick leave records available, but also evidence of the opinions of military doctors, hospital medical records, computer records and warrants license.
As for whether the action was taken properly after the holidays, the Defense Department has not provided a clear answer. Article 20 (2) of the Patient Management and Treatment Regulations establishes that after discharge from a private medical institution, a physical examination must be requested at a nearby military hospital. However, in the data sent by the Military Personnel Administration and others to the power of the people, no content related to such monitoring measures has been confirmed.
Minister Chu’s son released the hospital records related to the extended vacation day, but this was also controversial. Although the medical certificate was disclosed as ‘documents to extend sick leave’, the date of issuance of the medical certificate was June 21, after the day the second sick leave began (15). This means that the relevant documents were issued six days after the sick leave began.
The active and reserve personnel of KATUSA Soldiers testify that “there can be no holidays that violate Army regulations in a lot like the son of Minister Chu.” Reserve Colonel Lee Gyun-cheol (42 years of training), who served as regional captain at KATUSA, where Minister Chu’s son worked, told Facebook: “There was no such ridiculous case in my tenure.” I can not. Minister Chu said that even now, please make a statement of conscience about the truth. “
Despite the circumstances, Defense Minister Chung Gyeong-du said earlier in the National Assembly: “We had to complete additional administrative measures, but I know some were not done.” I think I can.”
The opposition party refuted: “It is rare that the vacation of the son of Minister Chu is followed from beginning to end.” Representative Yoo Sang-beom said, “What is the reason that Defense Minister Cho’s son is hitting the soldiers’ morale and distracting the army?”
