Taipei City Government denies mayoral fund cover-up

"I didn't know anything about Yu switching the receipts with personal ones," she said.

Ma refused to comment on the matter yesterday, saying that he had appointed Lee to act as his spokesperson on the matter from now on.

"The case is under investigation and I won't comment any further on it," he said.

KMT Secretary-General Chan Chun-po (詹春柏) said that Ma, who doubles as KMT chairman, would meet with party legislators today to discuss his handling of the mayoral allowance fund.
