Parliament Focuses on Matters, Oversight Yuan Focuses on People: Scholars Discuss the Shared Investigative Power

Reported about 1 year ago

On June 25, 2024, the Oversight Yuan filed a request for a constitutional interpretation, claiming that the Parliament's reform bill significantly interfered with its investigative power, violating the principle of separation of powers outlined in the constitution. Several scholars noted that the Parliament's investigative power is a supplementary function of its duties and not in conflict with the Oversight Yuan's responsibilities, as other branches like the Executive Yuan and Judicial Yuan also have investigative powers. The request for constitutional interpretation by the Oversight Yuan has been questioned for its legitimacy, as it must involve a dispute during the exercise of its own duties, and the functions of the Parliament and the Oversight Yuan differ significantly.
