Seoul: The main opposition Democratic Party (DP) on Monday submitted an impeachment motion against Board of Audit and Inspection (BAI) Chair Choe Jae-hae during a parliamentary plenary session. This move has set the stage for the opposition-controlled National Assembly to vote on the proposed impeachment later this week. According to Yonhap News Agency, the National Assembly is scheduled to vote on the motion during the upcoming plenary session on Wednesday. Legally, an impeachment motion must be voted on within a timeframe of 24 to 72 hours after being reported to a plenary session, ensuring a timely decision on the matter. This is the first instance of an impeachment motion against the head of the BAI being brought before the National Assembly. The DP has cited perceived inadequacies in the BAI's examination of alleged irregularities related to the 2022 relocation of the presidential office. This move was in accordance with a campaign promise made by President Yoon Suk Yeol. Furthermore, the DP criticized Choe for not complying with a parliamentary request to provide documents pertinent to the audit. In a related development, the DP has also filed impeachment motions against Lee Chang-soo, the chief of the Seoul Central District Prosecutors Office, along with two other senior prosecutors. They are accused of failing to indict first lady Kim Keon Hee, despite allegations of her involvement in stock price manipulation.
