KMT sues Yu for saying it stole assets

A QUESTION OF OWNERSHIP The Chinese Nationalist Party said it was suing the premier for criminal libel, but he said he would love to address the issue in court

Another KMT lawyer Roger Lin (林瑞富) said that the suit is aimed at reforming Taiwan's political culture, not at getting revenge.

"The lawsuit is well-intended and constructive in nature," Lin said. "It's a friendly reminder that the premier should exercise prudence in his words and actions. If he accuses someone of stealing something, he should provide evidence to prove the allegation."

He also questioned whether the Cabinet's efforts to reclaim the KMT's stolen assets ahead of the legislative elections is a campaign gimmick to garner votes.

The PFP said yesterday that it is getting ready to file a suit against Yu and his "bandit government."

"Since the DPP came to power, it has been intimidating local governments governed by opposition parties," said Hsieh Kong-ping (謝公秉), Cultural and Publicity Department deputy director.
