China News Agency, Taipei, August 1. Chen Ju, who was once the secretary-general of the Office of the Leader of the Taiwan Authorities, took office on the 1st as the head of Taiwan's supervisory agency.
According to reports from the Central News Agency, "United Daily News", and China Broadcasting News, the "Monitoring Institute" held an inauguration ceremony for the person in charge on the same day.
The legislature of the Taiwan authorities conducted a vote on the appointment of the supervisory agency on July 17, and conflicts broke out among the "legislators" of the opposition party of the ruling party. After the "legislators" of the DPP voted forcibly, the nominee Chen Ju was approved to be the president of the "Monitoring Yuan", and the list of 27 "supervisory committees" was also passed. Both the Kuomintang and the People's Party expressed doubts about the results of the voting and requested the "Constitution Interpretation" to freeze the powers of the "Supervisory Committee", but Chen Ju still took office amidst controversy.
According to a poll published by the Formosa News on July 28, 43.9% of the people in Taiwan believed that the DPP “legislators” forcibly voted through the personnel appointment of the supervisory agency to be the ruling party’s hegemony, and more than half of the people in Taiwan believed that Chen Ju was in charge. The dean of the “Inspectorate” cannot represent his position. Among the green camp supporters interviewed, a quarter of the people expressed the same view.
Since the DPP took full power in 2016, there have been many controversies in the personnel appointment case of the supervisory agency. External public opinion also believes that the DPP has different attitudes about the "monitoring house" before and after taking office. Earlier, Chen Ju had expressed his wish to play the role of "the last Dean of the Supervisory Council." (Finish)
