The Taitung County Prosecutor’s Office is investigating the case of the Wu Xiuhua family of the county government’s Tuli Chairman Wu Xiuhua’s investment in the Dongying Resort to widen the farm road. The case is still under investigation. County Councilor Lin Shentian once again exposed that the Wu family’s investment in the “Peace View Garden Resort Hotel” development project in Luye Township has similar characteristics. In this situation, the dirt farm road that was originally only 3 meters wide was widened into an 8-meter cement road. The cases involving the use of public funds to widen the road are highly related to the Wu Xiuhua family, questioning that local public power has been used as a private tool of a specific family.

Wu Xiuhua's campaign for president: Let elections return to political opinions

Wu Xiuhua's campaign headquarters responded by saying that please let the election return to political opinions, let policies be tested, and let the people decide the future of Taitung. Elections are about proposing concrete policies and clearly stating future plans. How to develop young people, how to upgrade agriculture, how to make breakthroughs in the economy, how to improve transportation and infrastructure, these are the things that Taitung folks really care about.

Lin Shentian pointed out that in the previous "Dongying Resort" farm road case, county officials and the speaker's assistant were detained, and the "Peace View Garden" development project in Luye followed a similar pattern. According to the accessed information and aerial photos, Luye South 4th Road was originally only a stone farm road about 3 meters wide and 60 meters long. In 2019, there was almost no trace of the road. Unexpectedly, in 2020, the county government allocated funds to the township office to widen and extend it into a cement road 8 meters wide and about 360 meters long. This agricultural road, which has no residents along it, ends up perfectly connecting to the "Peace View Garden" development site.

Lin Shentian said that "Peace View Garden" plans to build 18 villas and a total of 198 guest rooms, with a base area of ​​1.7552 hectares. The four landowners involved are all owned by the family of former county magistrate Wu Junli. The chairman of the international development company founded by the developer is Wu Junli himself, who is also the brother of the current speaker Wu Xiuhua. Lin Cantian also found in the environmental impact assessment materials that Qiu Jiaping, assistant to the speaker's office, actually attended the meeting on behalf of the developer, which raised questions about whether there was no distinction between public and private matters and the use of public influence to assist private development.

Lin Shentian emphasized that although private enterprises are respected for investment and development in accordance with the law, public construction budgets come from taxpayers. Public power and public funds must not be used to tailor exclusive roads for specific people, and public power must not be reduced to a development tool for a few people.
