The KMT said the investigation should be based on facts and conducted lawfully.
Sra Kacaw’s office had no response.
It was unclear if the search was related to a series of bribery cases relating to public infrastructure projects nationwide.
Chang Teng-lung (張騰龍), who served as chief office assistant to Sra Kacaw, was indicted last year along with three others.

Democratic Progressive Party Legislator Lin I-chin’s (林宜瑾) offices in Taipei and Tainan were also searched last week as part of investigations into unspecified allegations.
