The statement referred to the fact that the minutes of the technical inspection committee under the "prime minister's" office were opened to the public through media including the paper Hangyore.

The minutes contain views on a serious problem in designing and simulation of the naval base and the point that Kangjong Village is not appropriate for housing a harbor, the statement said, adding:

Nevertheless, the "prime minister" pushed ahead with the construction, saying the basic agreement on naval base was concluded and the "government" is responsible for its implementation.

The authorities and military deceived the people with such bait as the entry of civilian ships, though the construction is mainly military oriented.

The Lee Myung Bak regime and military should stop the construction at once and no longer make the mockery of the people.
