, ‘Choo, the floor leader of the People Power Party, stated at a floor strategy meeting held at the National Assembly on the morning of the 9th, “There are concerns that excessive regulations on meal expenses and the value of agricultural, livestock, and fisheries gifts under the Anti-Corruption Act have been tying down the vitality of people’s livelihoods instead of promoting cleanliness for a long time. To improve the business conditions for small business owners, self-employed individuals at the forefront of domestic consumption economy, and those engaged in agriculture, livestock, and fisheries, we propose to the government to adjust meal expenses from the current 30,000 won to 50,000 won and the value of agricultural, livestock, and fisheries gifts from the current 15,000 won to 20,000-30,000 won.”,

, ‘Choo, the floor leader, pointed out that the meal expense of 30,000 won set when the Anti-Corruption Act went into effect in 2016 is based on the code of conduct for public officials established in 2003 and said, “If it does not reflect the more than 20 years of inflation increase, the gap between reality and norms will only widen.” He also added, “Just as the Anti-Corruption Act has been positively evaluated for contributing to making our society cleaner over the years, it is important to make efforts to enhance the compliance of norms in line with the times and conditions.”‘,
