ANDONG — Heo Ji-hoon, a North Gyeongsang Provincial Council member from the People Power Party, staged a one-person protest on the 20th against Rep. Yong Hye-in of the Basic Income Party taking part in the parliamentary audit of North Gyeongsang Province.
Standing in front of the provincial government building, Heo said Yong had been reported to authorities for violating the Political Funds Act. "For someone who should be under investigation as a criminal suspect to audit an agency subject to oversight undermines the integrity of the parliamentary audit," he said.
He added that Yong "has no basic understanding of the region" and "is not qualified to audit North Gyeongsang Province," urging her to resign immediately as an audit committee member.
Yong is attending the National Assembly Public Administration and Security Committee's audit of North Gyeongsang Province, held at the provincial government building on the same day, as a member of the audit panel.
