Zhuo Rongtai: The general payment of NT$10,000 needs to follow the general budget process, and the delay in review will affect the timing of payment.

At the end of August, the Executive Yuan sent out the central government's general budget for next year, which included a budget for universal distribution of NT$10,000. Chief Executive Officer Cheuk Wing-tai was asked on the online program "Let's Talk After Work" broadcast last night (9th) that there would be a chance for universal cash distribution during the Chinese New Year next year? He said that all administrative preparations have been carried out, but if the funds are included in the official budget, they must follow procedures, which will result in poor efficiency.

Zhuo Kui said that the executive and legislative chambers should no longer fall into the disputes of the past. The Legislative Yuan may have a bad atmosphere between the government and the opposition, but it should discuss the matter as it is and review this year's supplementary budget and next year's central government's general budget as soon as possible. And as long as the review is reasonable, the administrative department will make clear and necessary explanations.

Zhuo Kui emphasized that he hopes that the Legislative Yuan will no longer use bills and budgets to force the Executive Yuan to comply. If the Legislative Yuan has any needs to positively promote various policies, we are willing to discuss them. He revealed that he had already expressed his thoughts when he visited Legislative Yuan Han Guoyu, hoping to re-establish the interaction between the two chambers. Both of them had lost their tempers and complained, so this was fine.

Regarding the timing of the distribution of universal cash, Zhuo Kui reminded that if the review of the general budget is delayed for a long time, there will be no way for the AI ​​dividend to be distributed as scheduled. I was asked whether there will be a chance to get cash during the Chinese New Year next year? Zhuo Kui said that next year is not a special budget, but a general budget. There will be a gap between the two, which will lead to poor efficiency.

Zhuo Kui explained that because the special budget can eliminate some procurement problems, if it is a general official budget, it must follow the procedures, which will take longer. So I started making preparations this year, hoping that next year’s budget will be passed as soon as possible, and the Executive Yuan will distribute it as quickly as possible. Universal cash is not a policy of the Executive Yuan, but the country gives people AI dividends and enjoys group benefits. I hope the Legislative Yuan can work together to do it.
