A weekly magazine revealed that after Taiwan People's Party Chairman Ko Wen-je was caught in a false accounting storm, Tsai Bi-ru, an advisor to the Taichung City Government who is known as the "founding mother" of the People's Party, was also exposed for her political donation accounts for last year's legislative elections. She was suspected of declaring personnel expenses in the name of more than 300 transportation expenses, totaling more than 1 million New Taiwan dollars, and her reporting was false, which may be suspected of forging documents. In response to this, Tsai Bi-ru said on the 26th that her political donations were all reported in accordance with relevant regulations.

She said that when she submitted the application, her general secretary had asked the accountant who had been handling candidates' political donation declarations for a long time, so the transportation expenses were reported in accordance with regulations and "there was no problem with the format." She could only trust the professionals.

Tsai Bi-ru explained that her constituency is on the Taichung coastal line, and those who received transportation fees were all "local workers." These people come and go, and none of them live locally. Instead, they often travel between Taichung city and the coastal line to help distribute flyers and drive propaganda vehicles. The relevant accusations were deliberately spread and fabricated by someone.

According to reports, Ko Wen-je has been embroiled in a number of controversies recently. Pro-green commentator Wen Langdong revealed that the new office of the People's Party, the third floor of the Taiwan Glass Building, is currently undergoing interior decoration, but has not yet obtained a construction permit. The Taipei City Construction Management Office stated that the owner of the case applied on the 26th of last month, but has not yet been approved for construction, and will go to inspect it this morning.

When Ko Wen-je went out in the morning, he responded to media inquiries by saying, "It's not in operation."

Regarding Tsai Bi-ru's scandal of false accounting, the People's Party has been embroiled in many controversies recently. Ko Wen-je said that he would hold a press conference to explain everything clearly, but the timing would depend on whether the CPA Association could cooperate.
