When asked about being accused of violating the "election and recall law" by KMT legislator Wang Hongwei, Zhuo Kui said that he would handle it according to the law and do whatever the law requires. However, he was not showing it in public. He was asking individual committee members to take photos with him. We would all accept it, and he was the cover of the mobile phone. "You can do it too, and I hope more people will do it."
Regarding President Lai Qingde’s announcement on August 17 that universal cash payments will be NT$10,000 next year, the Kuomintang Legislative Yuan caucus advocates increasing the amount to NT$20,000. Zhuo Kui emphasized that everything should be done according to procedures, but the country's fiscal discipline must also be taken into consideration, and it cannot be excluded from this year's supplementary budget and next year's general budget. I hope that during the review of the general budget, all people will support the no-debt principle, that is, the government will not borrow money, and everyone will feel more at ease receiving NT$10,000.
