King Seung-su of the People Power Party said, adding that the bill was to be processed at the plenary session later in the day.The agreement states that the investigative team will consist of five assistant special counsels, 70 special investigators, fewer than 20 prosecutors and fewer than 70 civil servants.It also outlines that the investigation will center on the National Election Commission's alleged attempts to cover up officials' junkets overseas and unfair hiring, as well as allegations of the NEC's computerized data errors and vote-counting data manipulation.
