Meanwhile, dissatisfied with the Cabinet's threats to refer NCC members to the judiciary, Tseng Yung-chuan (曾永權), executive director of the KMT's policy coordination department, said yesterday that the party would file a lawsuit against the Executive Yuan.

"Shieh's criticism [of the NCC] amounts to an insult of the officials. We suggest that the legislature declare Shieh persona non grata," Tseng said.

Premier Chang Chun-hsiung (張俊雄) said yesterday that he was still considering whether to refer the NCC members to the judiciary.

Chang said that the Council of Grand Justices' ruling on the NCC clearly indicates that the composition of the organization was unconstitutional.

In a bid to handle matters relating to the NCC, Chang said the Cabinet had set up a taskforce headed by Minister without Portfolio Hsu Chih-hsiung (許志雄).

Although he had not yet received the taskforce's recommendations, Chang said, he would handle the matter as tactfully as possible.

"We will map out a plan in accordance with the taskforce's recommendations," he said.
