We begin at the top office...President Moon Jae-in has again called on his government to push forward with reforms that ensure what he calls a "fair" society.<br />During an anti-corruption meeting earlier today, he especially called for a just prosecutorial system that is free of corruption,... no matter who's in charge of the organization.<br />Park Hee-jun starts us off. President Moon Jae-in has ordered South Korea's prosecution to create a fair anti-corruption system that can be maintained no matter who leads the organization.<br />"I believe the task is to establish a fair anti-corruption system that is not swayed, no matter who takes the place of Prosecutor-General Yoon Seok-yeol. I ask that the prosecution establish a complete system that responds strictly to corruption, while ensuring human rights, democracy and fairness in its investigation and indictment procedures."<br />This was during the fifth meeting of the Anti-Corruption Policy Consultative Council,... also the first since it was expanded to work on promoting fairness.<br />Among the dozens of officials there... was Prosecutor-General Yoon Seok-yeol making this his first face-to-face with the president since the highly-controversial case surrounding ex-justice minister Cho Kuk.<br />In a separate message directed at the prosecution, President Moon credited the organization for achieving a fair level of neutrality as well as its active push for self-reform.<br />But he instructed the prosecution to work closely with the Justice Ministry for a more complete reform that meets the public's demands.<br />And in other areas...<br />President Moon highlighted the need to get rid of the preferential treatment enjoyed by powerful people especially in legal affairs... to end their influence in investigations and trials.<br />He also called for impartial education and employment so that people are selected for their abilities rather than their regional and family backgrounds.<br />And the president raised the importance of a special unit investigating corruption by high-level officials,... which will help the country take a step closer to justice and to completing what he calls his government's "mission."<br />Park Hee-jun, Arirang News.<br />
