[Asia Economy Reporter Lee Ji-eun] Regarding the Board of Audit and Inspection's audit on the appropriateness of the procedure for establishing the Basic Plan for Power Supply and Demand, which reflects the government's nuclear phase-out policy, Kim Jong-in, the Emergency Committee Chairman of the People Power Party, warned, "If the Blue House and the ruling party obstruct the Board of Audit and Inspection's audit, it will become a cause of a lame-duck period at the end of the administration."

At the Emergency Committee meeting held at the National Assembly on the morning of the 14th, Chairman Kim said, "If, as some have pointed out, the Basic Energy Plan for nuclear phase-out was manipulated or if illegal elements were involved in the process, it would be a serious crime shaking the foundation of the national economy and the lives of the people."

He pointed out, "So far, the Blue House and the ruling party have continuously taken unreasonable measures to cover up the Board of Audit and Inspection's audit related to the economic feasibility manipulation of the Wolseong Nuclear Power Plant," adding, "There is concern whether this audit will be conducted properly."

Chairman Kim raised his voice, saying, "I don't know what exactly the administration officials are so anxious to hide," and "The Board of Audit and Inspection must conduct a thorough audit without any wavering."

Regarding the decrease in the number of employed persons last year, he criticized, "Although the government spent as much as 37 trillion won over the year to increase jobs, the number of employed persons last year decreased by 220,000 compared to the year before," calling it "the collapse of a self-proclaimed job government."

Chairman Kim said, "This government has increased only short-term part-time jobs by pouring taxes rather than creating even one quality job," and added, "I hope the ruling party painfully takes to heart the serious warning from public sentiment that the downfall of the Moon administration will stem from issues related to jobs and livelihoods."
