From left, Chinese Nationalist Party (KMT) legislators Chen Yu-jen, Lin Wei-chou, Lin Yi-hua and Lee De-wei gesture at a news conference at the legislature in Taipei yesterday. Lin asked if Chen became Control Yuan president, whether investigations into the 58 cases would continue, and if they would, whether Chen would resign if illegalities were found. The Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) has long advocated eliminating the Control Yuan, yet it insists on nominating Chen and 27 Control Yuan members so it can engage in pork-barrel politics one last time, he said. However, Chen is to date the most unfit candidate for Control Yuan president, she said. The DPP should be establishing a parliamentary system and abolishing the Control Yuan and Examination Yuan, instead of handing out positions in organizations it itself calls “unnecessary” and “out-moded,” Chang said.
