Kim Jong-un has executed a North Korean government official after his department failed to hold enough video calls and complained about workloads, it has been claimed.<\/p>\n

The unnamed high ranking education minister was reportedly sentenced to death by the despot ruler following an investigation into why his department was failing to make satisfactory progress.<\/p>\n

A report on the findings of the probe into the Ministry of Higher Education, conducted by the Organisation and Guidance Department (ODG), was seen by Daily NRK.<\/p>\n

\"North-Korea-dictator-Kim-Jong-un-executes-minister-for-not-holding-enough-video-calls-rapidnews\"<\/p>\n

It claimed not enough was being done to properly “implement the Distance Education Act”, the news outlet reported.<\/p>\n

The report said: \u201cThe OGD conducted an investigation because the commission failed to make any progress and because some had criticised the government\u2019s policies.\u201d<\/p>\n

The allegations also reportedly included department members having \u201ccomplained at every meeting\u201d about their work, with others questioning the lack of resources provided by the state.<\/p>\n

Inspectors are also said to have highlighted the slow pace in implementing “the distance learning policy”, which was deemed to be progressing badly.<\/p>\n

Following the death of the minister, the new commission has been “reorganised” under Ri Guk Chol, president of Kim Il Sung University, the report adds.<\/p>\n

Among new measures, \u201cthey plan to do video conference calls on a regular basis\u201d, a source confirmed.<\/p>\n

The execution comes in a long line made by Kim.<\/p>\n

Last year he reportedly fed a general to flesh-eating piranhas, while five aides were said to have been killed by firing squad after his 2019 summit with\u00a0Donald Trump\u00a0failed to produce a deal.<\/p>\n

Earlier this week, Kim was accused of creating a ‘nuke school’, entirely focused on building and weaponising missiles.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
