Parliamentary Audit Opens Today; Parties Set to Clash Over Calling Chief Justice Cho as Witness

The annual parliamentary audit reviewing the overall state affairs in the second year of the Lee Jae-myung administration begins today (October 6).

The National Assembly will conduct the regular government audit across 16 standing committees, including the Legislation and Judiciary Committee, for 25 days until October 30.

The Democratic Party plans to focus on highlighting the administration's achievements by putting public livelihoods and the economy front and center, while the People Power Party plans to criticize government mismanagement, citing issues such as a recent landmine explosion incident.

On this first day, ruling and opposition parties are expected to clash over whether to adopt Supreme Court Chief Justice Cho Hee-dae as a witness during the Legislation and Judiciary Committee's audit of the Supreme Court and other judicial bodies.
