Auditor General Choi Jae-hyung announced in the National Assembly auditor post that “by the 16th, a decision will be made regarding the decision to close the Wolseong nuclear power plant early.” It was clarified when concerns arose that the audit report could not be issued this time as a result of not being able to reach a conclusion even in the four meetings just before the national government. This audit is also closely related to the “post-nuclear energy policy”, which is the central direction of the Moon Jae-in administration government, and the subsequent storm is expected to be difficult.
“The members of the audit committee have agreed on all the important issues,” said Choi, during an audit of the state administration of the Legislative and Judicial Committee of the National Assembly on the 15th. It will be launched on Tuesday (20). “He added:” I have to send the results to the National Assembly, but printing takes time and I have to notify the target organizations. “
The Audit and Inspection Board held the Audit Committee on the 7th, 8th, 12th and 13th of this consecutive month, but was unable to reach a final conclusion. As the extraordinary length of the committee has increased, some have speculated that the conflict is due to differences in political arrangements among members of the audit committee.
Director Choi said, “I apologize for not being able to provide the results of the audit to the public one year after the National Assembly requested the audit last year, and I apologize.” This is the largest. “” The reason is that the matter is not simple and very complex issues are entangled, “he said.” According to the facts revealed in the audit process, it took time for the officials of the Ministry of Industry delete and restore related data after the request for an audit by the National Assembly. There were difficulties, “explained the reason for the delay.
The audit began in September last year at the request of the Small and Medium Enterprises Commission of the National Assembly, Ministry of Commerce, Industry and Energy. This was a request to confirm whether KHNP’s decision to close Wolseong 1 early was valid and whether there was any act of appointment by the KHNP board members during the decision process.
The design life of Wolseong Unit 1 was initially scheduled to expire in 2022, but the service life was extended by 10 years by reinforcing the facility by spending KRW 5.925 billion. On the other hand, KHNP held a board of directors in June 2018 and decided to close the Wolsong 1 unit early, and the opposition party argued that “KHNP’s board of directors manipulated data such as the unit price of electricity sales to maintain the pace of the Moon Jae-in government’s policy of eliminating nuclear power plants. “
The Audit and Inspection Board has not reached a relevant conclusion until February, the legal deadline for the audit. Then on the 10th and 13th of the same month as April 9th, the audit committee was held one after another and sped up, but in the end, the resolution failed. At that time, an additional supplemental audit was decided and the audit committee resumed six months later.
As the audit dragged on, political pressure followed. Passport lawmakers even mentioned the “resignation” and “impeachment,” saying that Choi is leading to conclusions against the government. The Blue House emphasized that in attempting to appoint former Deputy Justice Minister Kim Oh-soo as a member of the audit committee, it was reported that Choi rejected him because he was a “pro-government person.” There was also controversy over the coercive investigation and the revocation of auditee statements.
