Members demand GNP apologize for spy fund.
(From The Korea Herald)
After issuing their joint regrets, 11 junior lawmakers of the opposition Grand National Party demanded yesterday the party formally apologize to the public for being implicated in the misappropriation of funds from a state-run spy agency.
"We apologize to the public for the party's illicit past practices, even though we believe the money was not siphoned off from the Agency for National Security Planning," said a junior reformist faction in a joint statement. "We will make concerted efforts to reform." The junior lawmakers, who apparently fear a potential backlash from the public ahead of next April's general elections, also urged the party to apologize and for related figures to come forward on the case.
The statement came days after Rep. Kang Sam-jae of the GNP was sentenced to a four-year jail term for misappropriating 119.7 billion won from the budget of the NSP, the predecessor of the influential National Intelligence Service, to bankroll the party's local and national elections campaign in 1995 and 1996, respectively, when he was secretary-general of the then-ruling Democratic Liberal Party.
