Parties
striving to break impasse on arms budget
各黨派試圖化解軍購案僵局

With
just less than three weeks for the current
legislative session, the opposition parties
still show no signs of approving
the special NT$610.8 billion military procurement
budget
or President Chen Shui-bian's nominations for the
Control Yuan, the nation's highest impartial
watchdog
agency.
|
 |
|
|
Lawmakers
of the opposition Kuomintang (KMT) and the People
First Party (PFP) said there is no change in the position
that the Executive Yuan (Cabinet) first retract
the allocation
of the budget for purchasing of new weaponry
from the U.S. and facilitate the passage of an arms procurement bill before
discussing on the money needed.
|
|
|
|
They
said that they support necessary
and reasonable military spending, but a legal base for
the huge expenditures is
needed before they can review the items and
budget.
|
|
|
It
is also impossible for them to screen and endorse
the nominees for the Control Yuan before the president revises
the
name list, which was not well received by the
public as shown in recent opinion surveys, they
said.
|
|
|
If
the president and the Cabinet insist
on forcing the military spending and the nominees down
lawmakers' throats, lawmakers said they will
have no choice in the next three weeks to focus
on the central government budget for the
new year and other bills that will affect more
people.
