* Correction *

The CFOI previously announced that Lee
Jong-jin hasn’t submitted any representative proposals. However, this turned
out to be a mistake of the person in charge at the CFOI. Also there has been a
mistake in the number of joint proposals. Therefore, some corrections have been
made regarding this. We deeply apologize to Lee Jong-jin for the mistakes.

  What are the most important activities for
the members of the National Assembly?  Legislative activities which make
and amend the laws on behalf of the citizens will be the answer.  Using the Legislative
Information System of the National Assembly, the Center of Freedom of
Information (CFOI) analyzed how active the members of the National Assembly are
in terms of legislative activities.

  To
start with, the number of bills, amendments and resolutions proposed between
May 2012 and Jan 30, 2013 by the 19^th National Assembly is 2967. 541
bills were passed or handled among these.

●Number of introducing bills per party
for the 19^th National Assembly

  The
Saenuri Party, which has 154 members, proposed 1368 bills and the Democratic
United Party, which has 127 members, proposed 1457 bills. 

 
The Progressive Justice Party, which has 7 members, proposed 89 bills. 6
independent members proposed 29 bills and the United Progressive Party, which
has 6 members, submitted 24 bills so far.

●Average number of proposed bills per
party for the 19^th National Assembly

  Simply put, as for the members of
the Saenuri Party, one person proposed 8.9 bills and the members of Democratic
United Party proposed 11.5 bills per one person. The members of the Progressive
Justice Party and the United Progressive Party proposed 12.7 and 4 bills per
one person each. In total, it is possible to say that the entire 300 members of
the National Assembly proposed 9.9 bills per one person so far.

  While
some are active, there are some others who haven’t proposed any bills.

●List of the members of 19^th
National Assembly without representative/joint proposal

  Kang
Seog-hoon, Shim yoon-joe and Chang Yoon-seok of the Saenuri Party, Boo Jwahyun
of the Democratic United Party and Lee Seok-ki of the United Progressive Party had
no representative proposals at all. Above six people only participated in lawmaking
activities through joint proposals. Relying on others, they did not manage to
submit their own proposals.

  Of
course, the high number of bills proposed does not automatically mean it is good.
Furthermore, abusively proposing low quality bills as a way of showing tangible
result should be avoided. However, the fact that they haven’t proposed any
bills by themselves as someone who represents the citizens means that they
neglected their duties. Doesn’t this deserve criticism? 

*Lee Un-Ryong (Saenuri Party) became a
member of the National Assembly as of January, as a substitute of the
president-elect, Park Geun-hye.

*The data related to Kang Seog-hoon (Saenuri
Party) was left out due to the data omission which has been revised now.
