NH reform pledge questioned as lawmakers press probe status on 14 misconduct allegations

South Korean lawmakers debated reform plans for the National Agricultural Cooperative Federation, including how its chairman is elected and the independence of audit bodies, during a parliamentary audit. Lawmakers questioned whether expanding the chairman vote to all cooperative members is legally consistent and properly agreed. Opposition lawmakers also demanded submission of investigation updates on 14 alleged misconduct cases. The audit also reviewed conversion of unused NH points to local currency and attendance issues.
