Amid the controversy over nominations for Control Yuan members, opposition parties proposed amendment bills to abolish the Control Yuan and the Examination Yuan one after another. Lin Wei-chou (林為洲), KMT legislative party whip, yesterday indicated that the DPP had been calling for their abolishment for decades, adding that now that the ruling and opposition parties reached a consensus, the DPP should facilitate the Constitutional reform as soon as possible. He further urged the DPP not to bluff.
As for the differing voices within the KMT regarding changing the Constitution from five powers into three, Lin stated that the party central respected the autonomy of the legislative caucus, adding that the caucus respected individual legislators’ prerogative to introduce bills. He supplemented by saying that abolishing or freezing the Control Yuan, or transforming it into a task-based institution are all possible directions the amendments could take.
Lin said that in the future, the KMT would form a Constitutional Reform Committee, consisting of KMT party officials, legislators, and scholars, adding that the KMT would set the tone for its final stance by that time.
