新竹縣新埔鎮新民里長吳桂香在替公所轉發重陽敬老禮金時,同步發送手工蛋糕與特定參選人競選小物。
新竹縣新埔鎮新民里長吳桂香替公所轉發重陽敬老禮金,卻同步夾帶自己送的手工蛋糕,還把她力挺的藍營參選人徐欣瑩等的競選小物一併發送給里內長輩,被指違反行政中立。對此她電話受訪說,里長也有下班的時候,自己並非公務人員,所以沒有違反行政中立。
新竹縣選委會則打臉吳桂香說,村里長屬於廣義的公務人員。里長就算下班,但執行里長職務就須維持行政中立。這次發送敬老禮金,乃是受託鎮公所,資格就是來自其里長職務,中選會三令五申,即便分送選舉公報、投票通知單,不僅不能夾帶任何有關候選人的標語文宣和物品,就是其他活動的文宣和物品也不宜。
新埔鎮長陳英樓說,全鎮共有2000多名80歲以上長輩,公所透過各里長協助發放敬老禮金,並無夾帶任何其他物品,吳桂香的作法,他事前並不知情。
無黨籍的吳桂香說,蛋糕是該里某個里民手做的,對方分一半、切18塊給她,她好意再切分70多塊要跟長輩們分享,但實際只發出30多塊,也僅1塊被質疑發霉。其夫試吃被指發霉的蛋糕,為的是佐證食安沒問題,剩下的也坦蕩任質疑者自行送驗。
吳桂香強調自己並非公務人員,里長也有下班時。她支持藍軍,國民黨各參選人平時託她代發競選小物給里民,她就把這些競選小物趁著轉發敬老禮金,加上前述蛋糕一起發下去,何錯之有?
吳桂香2022年於秋節晚會上,曾因持有多張摸彩券代抽且連續中獎引發黑箱的爭議,這次再因轉發敬老禮金夾帶前述爭議蛋糕等再次引爆話題。
