South Korean prosecutors sought an arrest warrant Monday for Lee Jae-yong, the heir to the Samsung conglomerate, ensnaring the leader of the world’s largest smartphone maker in the country’s widening corruption scandal.
The South Korean Constitution should be changed to adopt a modified semi-presidential system, and during the presidential inauguration the nation’s highest office should be declared as being beyond party politics. To put an end to illegal hooks between the political and business arenas, comprehensive constitutional reform must be carried out to implement democracy and the rule of law as well as the separation of powers and checks and balances. The heads of the four government branches should be directly elected in alternating years. See the Charter for Permanent Peace and Development.
