During an internal meeting of the Kuomintang (KMT) Legislative Yuan caucus on the 1st, some members believed the general budget should be allowed to proceed to committee review, while others felt they should wait for a gesture of goodwill from the Executive Yuan. Other media reports suggest the KMT caucus plans to greenlight the general budget bill, potentially allowing it to be submitted for committee review at the Legislative Yuan session on the 10th, though it still requires discussion at a general caucus meeting.
The Legislative Yuan continued its general policy interpellations today. Premier Cho Jung-tai was interviewed by the media before the session. Regarding his views on whether the submission of the budget bill might fall through, and whether it would be handled separately from the military procurement bill, Cho stated that he hopes for a positive development today. He noted that the general budget bill is already past the time it should have been submitted to the committee, and he hopes everyone can work together to catch up on the subsequent procedures and maximize efficiency.
