Presidential staff to brief National Assembly's House Steering Committee
  • 5 years ago
Officials from the presidential office are going to brief the National Assembly's House Steering Committee today... with front and center likely to be the string of controversial nominations for cabinet posts.
President Moon Jae-in's Chief of Staff, Noh Young-min, as well as other aides will be attending.
The opposition bloc is likely to slam the top office for what it claims.... was poor vetting of the candidates,... and demand those responsible to step down.
President Moon's picks for transport and science minister fell through last week over ethical lapses.
Conservatives are also demanding the president to withdraw nominations for his picks for SME and unification ministers.
And there's extra attention on this meeting... given that the ruling party didn't fare particularly well in Wednesday's by-elections.
