DPP Spokesman Cheng Wen-tsang (鄭文燦), on the other hand, shrugged off Ma’s criticism.
Only an inept government would blame others for its own incompetence and only an incapable administration would try to exonerate itself by shifting the responsibility onto others, he said.
“After one year of governance, if the only way the Ma administration can justify its incompetence is to point the finger at the previous administration and former president Chen Shui-bian, then it is an administration that’s not willing to improve,” Cheng said.
He urged the Ma administration to propose effective policies instead of pinning blame on the former government.
