TPP Proposes Scrapping Control Yuan

Taiwan People’s Party lawmakers are proposing a constitutional amendment to abolish the Control Yuan, one of the five branches of Taiwan’s government. The Control Yuan serves as a watchdog to censure officials and investigate misconduct, but critics argue its executive-nominated members compromise its independence. The TPP says it has secured enough legislative support to pass the proposal’s first stage, though a full constitutional change would require additional steps, including a national referendum.
