While the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transportation called for the removal of Incheon International Airport Corporation Chairman Koo Bon-hwan, Chairman Koo said: “I don’t know the reason to resign.” He also said: “I heard a story from a senior official in the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport of voluntarily resigning, but I did not hear the reason why I had to leave.”
On the afternoon of the 16th, Chairman Koo held a press conference in the auditorium of Injeon International Airport Corporation and made a statement. President Koo said: “I do not know the results of the audit sent by the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport, but I only know the title. However, none of these issues deserve to be dismissed. “
He said, “That’s it, but it’s embarrassing to say I’m fired. “I have no other choice,” he said. “I don’t know why I have to leave so urgently.” “(Ministry of Lands) proposed a compromise. He said (how to resign) in the first half of next year so as not to be burdened until the successor president arrived, ”he said. Voluntary resignation is unthinkable, that’s why the work has come this far ”.
The results of the audit are discussed as the basis for the request from the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport to remove President Koo. President Koo left in response to Typhoon ‘Mi-Tak’ during the government inspection in October last year, but there was a controversy after paying 230,000 won with a corporate card at a steakhouse near his home. In February, there was also a controversy over the “ sudden staffing ” upon lifting the post of an employee who requested clarification of staff results.
Chairman Koo explained the two topics one by one. First of all, regarding the response to a typhoon, “(Airport Corporation) manually ordered emergency work and a weather warning must be effective to install a countermeasures headquarters. Said. Regarding the suspicion of illegal use of a corporate card, “I first calculated it with a corporate card at a dinner with an acquaintance. The legal officials (of the corporation) said there was no legal problem, but they changed because they said it would be better to cancel and collect because the employees could be misunderstood. ” “The restaurant is said to be close to the house, but it is not close because it is in Anyang Indeokwon, 20 minutes from the house.”
In terms of personnel, “to recruit talent in an innovative way (team leader level), we introduced a competition system and a recommendation system.” I mentioned it several times, but if I didn’t listen to it, it seemed repulsive. “
President Koo said: “(A senior official from the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport) said something different, but I thought he did not meet the dismissal requirements stipulated in the Law on the Functioning of Public Institutions. The audit by the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport pointed out that it was only a justification for the dismissal. Chairman Koo said, “As a person who has held public office for about 30 years, it seems that this is not my way to pursue firing at this level.”
When asked if the government was trying to toughen up the so-called ‘people-government incident’, President Koo said: “I guess, but I can’t speak, so guess together.” He also expressed his regret, saying: “I was injured because I worked hard in my own way, but I never received any comfort or warm encouragement (from the union).”
