(Central News Agency reporter Yang Shu-min, Taipei, 29th) Recently, media personnel have questioned alleged corruption in the "Zhongxiao Bridge Approach Ramp Demolition Project" during Ko Wen-je's mayoral term. The Agency Against Corruption (AAC) of the Ministry of Justice has already interviewed key witnesses. Today, when asked by the media whether the city would cooperate with the investigation, Mayor Chiang Wan-an stated that if the investigation is reopened, the city government would cooperate to clarify the matter.
Regarding media person Li Cheng-hao's doubts about alleged corruption in the "Zhongxiao Bridge Approach Ramp Demolition Project" during former Taipei Mayor Ko Wen-je's tenure, the AAC has already interviewed key witnesses. It is understood that the Taipei District Prosecutors Office (TDPO) received public complaints, questioning whether the Taipei City Government assisted construction contractors in defrauding project funds, and has launched a 'he-zi' (preliminary investigation) case.
Ma Yu-wen, a Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) Taipei City Councilor candidate for the Zhongzheng Wanhua constituency, also questioned whether the change in construction methods for the Zhongxiao Bridge approach ramp demolition project was suspected of illicit profiteering.
Chiang Wan-an attended the 115th Annual Flood Control and Emergency Response Exercise and Self-Help Disaster Prevention Community Achievements Exhibition today. Media asked whether the city government would cooperate with the reopening of investigations by prosecutors and the AAC, and whether it had grasped the possibility of involvement in corruption cases.
Chiang Wan-an stated that the New Construction Office (NCO) already explained yesterday that the Control Yuan's investigation in 2021 had concluded. If the AAC reopens the investigation, the city government will cooperate to clarify the matter.
The Taipei City Public Works Department's NCO explained yesterday that the Government Procurement Act allows contractors to propose alternative construction methods, which is common in practice. The proposal in this case was superior to the original contract plan. (Edited by Li Shu-hua) 1150429
