Legislator Requests Information but Receives Fully Blackened Documents, Opposition Criticizes Lack of Parliamentary Investigative Powers

Reported 8 months ago

In response to the request from the internal affairs committee to access digital ID-related data, the Ministry of the Interior blacked out the entire document, prompting anger from Kuomintang lawmakers criticizing the lack of parliamentary investigative and hearing powers. The government's policy mistakes in spending 1.4 billion public funds on the stalled digital ID project were highlighted, with lawmakers vowing to freeze or cut the budget if transparency is not provided. The incident underscores the need for the parliament to have investigative and hearing rights, as evidenced by the complete redaction of crucial documents by the ministry.
