Ko Wen-je advocates for three-branch government, criticizes Control Yuan

Former Taiwan People's Party chairman Ko Wen-je is pushing for the establishment of a three-branch system of government in Taiwan, criticizing the current structure and the perceived ineffectiveness of the Control Yuan. Ko argues that the principle of separation of powers is crucial for the nation's political direction.

“

Three-branch system is my political platform and the political direction of the Taiwan People's Party.

Ko specifically targeted the Control Yuan, labeling it as an institution rife with "patronage" and "fat cats," suggesting it lacks substantial accomplishments. He questioned the role of its president, Chen Chu, by asking what her position signifies if she takes a year-long leave of absence. Ko also raised concerns about the alleged misuse of official vehicles, further fueling his call for the abolition of the Control Yuan.

“

The Control Yuan's social perception is poor, either through patronage or being a 'fat cat,' and it has no active achievements.

While advocating for the elimination of the Control Yuan, Ko proposed retaining the Audit Department, allowing it to operate with budgetary independence. He believes this approach would be a practical step towards achieving a true separation of powers within Taiwan's government. Ko made these remarks while accompanying party-affiliated candidates for the Taoyuan City council election at the San Chong Temple in Pingzhen District.

If she doesn't work for a whole year, what does that signify?
