(Central News Agency reporter Kao Hua-chien, Taipei, 15th) As the term of the 6th-term Control Yuan members is about to expire, whether the 7th-term members can take office as scheduled has drawn much attention. Control Yuan Secretary-General Huang Shih-cho said today that while there are calls to abolish the Control Yuan, if the appointments of Control Yuan members are not approved, or if the budget is cut to zero, it would instead abolish supervisory power, harming people who need assistance, and would not be a blessing for the people.
The term of the 6th-term Control Yuan members will expire on July 31st this year. The Presidential Office has established a review committee and completed public recruitment, but the Kuomintang (KMT) and Taiwan People's Party (TPP) have not recommended candidates for Control Yuan members, casting uncertainty over whether the appointments for the 7th-term will be approved by vote.
The Legislative Yuan's Judiciary and Organic Laws and Statutes Committee today invited Huang Shih-cho to attend a report and answer questions.
TPP Legislator Chen Chao-tzu asked if he expected to be the last secretary-general and if he was prepared for a situation without Control Yuan members. Huang Shih-cho said that as a scholar in the past, he had similar views, hoping to abolish the Control Yuan and return supervisory power to the Legislative Yuan, but he cannot answer whether he wants to be the last secretary-general in his current capacity as Control Yuan Secretary-General.
Huang Shih-cho pointed out that as staff, they never prepare for a situation without Control Yuan members, and still hope that the 7th-term Control Yuan members can take office legally on August 1st.
DPP Legislator Chuang Ruei-hsiung further asked what damage would be caused if the Control Yuan ceased operations. Huang Shih-cho said that while there are calls to abolish the Control Yuan, if the appointments of Control Yuan members are not approved, or if the budget is cut to zero, it would instead abolish supervisory power, harming people who need assistance.
Huang Shih-cho stated that with 100,000 petitions received by the Control Yuan in one term, the Control Yuan is needed to identify problems in administrative agencies and rectify official conduct for the people, just as the National Human Rights Commission also has many areas to protect human rights.
Huang Shih-cho said that if there is no money and no Control Yuan members, no administrative actions can be carried out, which would instead abolish supervisory power and prevent the exercise of supervisory power, which is not a blessing for the people. (Editor: Hsieh Chia-chen) 1150415
