The government is considering revision of the National Finance Act in a bid to ease the requirements for drafting a supplementary budget while the ruling Grand National Party sits down on the government ’ s plan , widening the differences between the two parties over the supplementary budget issue . As matters stand , the Blue House is much likely to roll up its sleeves to bring the government party around . “ We are internally discussing the plan of introducing a revised bill of the National Finance Act so as to formulate a supplementary budget . We hope the Grand National Party will do it , which however is unlikely as things go now . Thus , the government will take the initiative to revise the law , if necessary , ” said a source from the Finance Ministry on Thursday . Another source said , “ However , since the revised bill can hardly be realized without the ruling party ’ s consent , it is most urgent for us to reason GNP into the plan . ” Finance Minister Kang Man - soo asserted in the Hankyung Millennium Forum ’ s monthly seminar held on April 24 : “ A huge sum of revenues exceeding the government ’ s budget and nonappropriated funds put pressure on the private sector . So it should be settled via a tax cut and a supplementary budget . ” However , the ruling GNP has raised strong opposition to the government ’ s plan . “ The supplementary budget plan will give a blow to our party and I don ’ t think other lawmakers will vote for the plan , ” said GNP chief policymaker Lee Han - gu in his interview with Yonhap News on this day .
