Why It Matters
The Kuomintang Legislative Yuan caucus held a press conference regarding the kickbacks involved in the bidding case by He Xinchun's husband, Xie Junxiong. At the same time, Legislative Yuan Guoyu went to Dali to assist in the election of Jiang Qichen.
Legislative President Han Kuo-yu went to Dali today (11th) afternoon to dedicate the first sweep of the county mayor election to KMT Taichung mayor candidate Jiang Qichen. DPP Taichung mayor candidate He Xinchun has served as a 3-term council member and 4-term legislator in Dali. The district is known locally as "He Xinchun's natal district." When a reporter asked, "Your father-in-law is also engaged in the construction industry," Jiang Qichen responded, "The family governs according to the law, and there is no room for ambiguity in avoiding interests."
The Kuomintang Legislative Yuan caucus held a press conference in the morning. Secretary-General Xu Yuzhen, legislators Huang Jianhao and Niu Xuting pointed out that according to the court ruling, He Xinchun's husband Xie Junxiong was involved in a relevant tender case that involved a kickback of up to 15% of the winning bid amount. He Xinchun responded by saying "because the other party asked for a bribe, so he paid the bribe."
Han Guoyu rushed to Dali Xingxing Palace in the afternoon, while Jiang Qichen was waiting in the temple. The media asked, "Your father-in-law is also engaged in the construction industry." Jiang Qichen's father-in-law Liu Shengliang once served as a KMT legislator and founded the Wanmeng Organization. It owned many construction companies such as Huacheng and Wanxiong, and held a large amount of land. He was once called the "King of the Legislative Yuan."
Jiang Qichen said that Mr. He Xinchun should have been involved in a judicial case many years ago. When facing doubts from the outside world, the most important thing is to make things clear. If citizens have doubts, they should make things clear.
Jiang Qichen said that as he is now the vice-president of the Legislative Yuan, all aspects of his property are in trust. The same was true when he was the Information Director of the Executive Yuan. As a political affairs officer, everything is administered in accordance with the law and there is no room for evasion of interests. Therefore, when he becomes the mayor in the future, his family and anyone close to him will have the same attitude. He will administer in accordance with the law and there is no room for evasion of interests.
