Assemblyman Jo O-seop Selected as 'Democratic Party Outstanding Member for National Audit' for 2 Consecutive Years

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Yoon Jamin] Assemblyman Jo O-seop (The Democratic Party of Korea·Gwangju Buk-gu Gap) has won the 'The Democratic Party of Korea Excellent Member Award for National Assembly Inspection' for two consecutive years.

Assemblyman Jo set five practical tasks for this National Assembly inspection as a stepping stone for the successful conclusion of the Moon Jae-in administration and the re-creation of the regime: ▲the life and safety of the people ▲normalization of unfairness ▲balanced national development ▲eradication of administrative corruption ▲resolution of local issues.

In particular, he led key issues such as safety negligence in the Gwangju Hakdong disaster and the KakaoT market monopoly problem, and despite opposition from the opposition party, he succeeded in summoning the CEO of Hyundai Development Company, bereaved families, and the CEO of Kakao Mobility as witnesses and reference persons for the National Assembly inspection.

He drew out the recognition of Hyundai Development Company as the ‘perpetrator’ and urged sincere apology and responsibility to compensate the bereaved families, while requesting KakaoT to improve unfair contracts and the taxi driving industry that abused the monopolistic market dominance, asking for communication and coexistence measures.

Additionally, he is evaluated to have led policy inspections on ▲LH’s outdated architectural method ‘insistence on wall structure’ ▲inter-floor noise increasing 4.8 times in 10 years ▲polarization of Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport’s preliminary feasibility study projects ▲‘musical chairs’ with former sites of public institution relocations ▲overlooking subcontract violations at construction sites ▲favoritism toward specific companies abusing the performance-sharing system ▲establishment of a local aviation office in the Honam region ▲neglect of replacement of navigation safety facilities in the Honam region.

He is also praised for excellently fulfilling his role as a Democratic Party assemblyman through policy proposals and alternatives for phased recovery from COVID-19, recovery of the people’s economy, and future transformation.

Assemblyman Jo said, "As this is the last National Assembly inspection of the Moon Jae-in administration, I worked hard to create a stepping stone for regime re-creation through correct achievements and evaluations," adding, "I will listen to the voices of the people and repay them with more humble and sincere legislative activities to make a better Republic of Korea."

Meanwhile, Assemblyman Jo O-seop has played a major role in opening the ‘era of 3 trillion won national budget for Gwangju City’ in the 2022 main budget while serving on the Land, Infrastructure and Transport Committee, the Budget and Accounts Committee, and as the floor spokesperson for The Democratic Party of Korea.
