"The Legislative Yuan is not the 'cashier window' of the Ministry of Finance!" Xu Yuzhen, secretary-general of the Kuomintang League and legislator, denounced that the Lai Ching-te government should not use the people's 10,000 yuan to kidnap Congress and force it to release the budget. The Ministry of Finance should not set a timetable for disbursing money, emphasizing that money for sharing economic results with the people should not be a "meat ticket" required by the Executive Yuan for next year's general budget. She bluntly said that the Legislative Yuan's review of the central government's general budget is a statutory duty of the Constitution. She even asked if the government budget is overstuffed, wasteful or even contains unreasonable expenditures, will the Legislative Yuan accept it in full?

Xu Yuzhen pointed out that in the new session of the Legislative Yuan (the 6th session of the 11th term), in addition to the central government's general budget for next year, there will also be the supplementary budget for this year (115), as well as dozens of priority bills proposed by the Executive Yuan. The two parties also have important bills related to people's livelihood, labor, finance and national development. Why should the Ministry of Finance set a date and have to give way to all other bills?

Xu Yuzhen reiterated that the Kuomintang supports the sharing of economic results by all people, but does not accept the government using the name of universal cash to weaken the power of Congress to review and supervise the budget. He calls on the government to propose a feasible spending plan in accordance with Article 54 of the "Budget Law" and other relevant provisions, clarify the sources of law, and obtain the approval of the legislative and opposition groups. This will truly help the people receive 10,000 yuan before the Lunar New Year, making the public mistakenly believe that Congress is blocking the payment of money and using the people's expectations as a political tool.
