People Power Party Ethics Committee Suspends Party Membership of Kim Hyun-ah for 3 Months over Illegal Political Funds Allegations

The People Power Party's Central Ethics Committee on the 24th imposed a three-month suspension of party membership rights on former lawmaker Kim Hyun-ah (Gyeonggi Goyang-jeong Party Committee Chair), who is under investigation for illegal political fund receipt charges.

The Ethics Committee held a full meeting at the central party office in Yeouido on the same day. They decided this, stating that former lawmaker Kim violated the party's ethical code regarding maintaining dignity and the prohibition of abuse of position and status in relation to the operation of the party member council (party committee).

After the meeting, Ethics Committee Chair Hwang Jeong-geun told reporters, "Regarding the violation of the Political Funds Act (charges) by former lawmaker Kim, since it is under investigation by investigative authorities, that part was not directly used as grounds for disciplinary action."

Last month, the party's Audit Committee had forwarded a disciplinary proposal recommending suspension of party membership rights for former lawmaker Kim to the Ethics Committee.
