Rival parties tentatively agreed Monday to start an annual parliamentary inspection in September, a ruling-party lawmaker said.
“The ruling and opposition parties agreed for now to hold the parliamentary inspection from September 4 to September 23,” Rep. Cho Won-jin of the Saenuri Party said.
The details of the 20-day-long parliamentary audit have not yet been released.
The Saenuri Party and the main opposition New Politics Alliance for Democracy also agreed to hear a briefing from the National Assembly’s security and public administration committee on alleged hacking by the country’s spy agency on Aug. 10 and from the defense committee on Aug. 7 or Aug. 10, Cho said.
