KMT lawmaker files charges with police against SuBy Liu Ching-hou, Huang Hsin-po and Jake Chung / Staff reporters, with staff writerChinese Nationalist Party (KMT) Legislative Yuan Convener Lin Wei-chou (林為州) yesterday filed charges against Premier Su Tseng-chang (蘇貞昌) for allegedly spreading false information related to statements on US pork imports, police said. Premier Su Tseng-chang gestures while speaking at the Legislative Yuan in Taipei yesterday. Su does not have legislative immunity and his comments constitute spreading false information, Lin said. The Executive Yuan yesterday issued a statement calling for the KMT not to twist Su’s words and mislead the public. “They never mentioned ‘pork importers support the importation of pork with ractopamine,’” Li said, adding that Legislative Yuan recordings would be opened for review.
