NEW TAIPEI (TVBS News) — New Taipei City Mayor Hou Yu-ih challenged the ruling Democratic Progressive Party's (DPP) anti-corruption efforts in Taiwan on Thursday (May 25) as the DPP accused Hou of having connections with the im.B fraud case.
As the scandal looms over the DPP, the party pointed out that Hou took several photos with the founder of the peer-to-peer lending platform, Tseng Kuo-wei.
In response, Hou stated, "I have no impression of this person at all," and welcomed the DPP to investigate the matter.
Hou questioned DPP's claim to focus on anti-corruption and anti-black money in the past seven years.
He threw the question on to Lai Ching-te, the presidential election candidate for the DPP, "Vice President Lai Ching-te, who served as premier, promised rigorous inspection of the DPP. Have you fulfilled this promise in the past seven years?"
Hou said the DPP must investigate and tell the truth to the Taiwanese people. "With increasing corruption and black money, how can the people trust the government?" Hou asked.
