North Korea’s leader Kim Jong Un fires officials for extortion linked to a hospital project in a country where such problems are rarely publicized by HeeShin
SEOUL - North Korea’s leader has sacked officials building a hospital after they pressed the public for contributions, media reported on Monday, the second rebuke linked to the high-profile project in a country where such problems are rarely publicised.
But during his latest visit to the site, Kim fired a group of project managers, called the construction coordination commission, for failing to allocate a proper budget and supplying equipment and materials from ordinary citizens. It was his second rebuke for the managers this month. He earlier criticised them for causing delays with “inattention” and violating unspecified anti-epidemic rules.
