During a meeting on June 17, 2024, the Interior Ministry provided heavily redacted data on the digital ID card replacement policy to the Legislative Yuan's Interior Affairs Committee, prompting accusations from the Nationalist Party of potential favoritism towards vendors. The party criticized the wasted budget and froze over NT$60 million in maintenance fees after finding that critical information was obscured or missing in the documents provided. The Interior Ministry defended the redactions by citing personal data protection laws but faced backlash for the lack of transparency and accountability. The issue raised concerns about oversight and misuse of public funds, with further investigations ongoing.
