Control, Examination yuan nominees reveal status

All of President Ma Ying-jeou’s (馬英九) nominees for the Control Yuan and Examination Yuan who once held either permanent residency or citizenship in another country have relinquished that status, Presidential Office Spokesman Wang Yu-chi (王郁琦) said yesterday.

Wang made the remark after the Presidential Office received written responses from the 50 nominees detailing their permanent residency and citizenship status.

He said six of the Examination Yuan nominees previously held US green cards or US nationality: Chiu Tsung-chih (邱聰智), Tsai Bih-hwang (蔡璧煌), Tsai Shih-yuan (蔡式淵), Chen Jeaw-mei (陳皎眉), Kao Ming-chien (高明見) and Lee Hsuan (李選).

Four Control Yuan nominees also held dual status or residencies — Shen Fu-hsiung (沈富雄), Chien Lin Hui-chun (錢林慧君), Liu Hsing-shan (劉興善) and Frank Wu (吳豐山) — he said.

Chien Lin also relinquished her residency in Japan, Wang said.

Wang said that Wu had sent a letter to Australia’s representative office in Taiwan to surrender his multi-entry and unlimited-stay visa with expiration date.

The legislature is set to vote on confirming Ma’s Control Yuan nominees on Friday and the Examination Yuan nominees on July 11.
