Na Kyung-won: "Opposition needs to reflect on Kim Gun-hee special prosecutor law... Special Inspector General and 2nd Secretariat should be established"

"Special Investigation Law, Designed for General Election... But Concerns Must Be Addressed"

Former People Power Party lawmaker Na Kyung-won mentioned the high public support for the 'Kim Gun-hee Special Prosecutor Act' (Special Prosecutor Act on Kim Gun-hee's alleged stock manipulation of Deutsch Motors) and said, "We also need to reflect on ourselves."

On the 10th, Na appeared on CBS Radio's 'Kim Hyun-jung's News Show' and said, "(The Kim Gun-hee Special Prosecutor Act) is a special prosecutor for the general election," but added, "There were concerns about the presidential office, close aides of the president, and the president's relatives, so a procedure to address these issues is necessary." She also insisted that President Yoon Seok-youl and the ruling party should promptly establish a special inspector and a second secretariat to regain public trust.

Na said, "President Moon Jae-in did not appoint a special inspector throughout his five years in office. President Yoon should appoint a special inspector. Regardless, the public always has concerns and worries about the president's relatives and such matters." Regarding the second secretariat, she said, "(President Yoon) said during the presidential campaign that he would not establish a second secretariat, but I insisted that it should be established," adding, "Because the First Lady inevitably has certain rules. If the public demands it, it should be established."

Regarding the presidential office's move to establish a second secretariat and the opposition party's criticism that it is an attempt to defuse controversy over the ruling party's veto power exercise on the 'Double Special Prosecutor Act' (Special Prosecutor Act on Kim Gun-hee and the Daejang-dong scandal), she also shared her opinion. She questioned, "Is it meaningful to continue investigating a case that violates the principle of clarity and constitutional principles, and that could not even summon witnesses from an incident 10 years ago?" She continued, "The opposition party also has various issues, including risks related to leader Lee Jae-myung, but they should put those aside and focus on policies for the people and the commoners amid economic difficulties."
