taiwan people's party chairman ko wen-je has been in trouble recently: the political donation controversy has continued, and it was revealed that he used election subsidies to buy a nt$43 million business office to be placed in trust. there were also reports that he would temporarily leave the chairmanship of the people's party. yesterday (29th), the people's party held a press conference, and ko wen-je appeared and bowed to apologize, announcing that after consideration, he would ask for a three-month leave from the people's party and voluntarily apply for an investigation. in response, wu zijia, chairman of the formosa boulevard electronic news, said on the 29th that ko wen-je asked for leave just to keep his position as chairman of the people's party. and former legislator guo zhengliang said on the 29th that the prosecutors and investigators would definitely check where the money without invoices went? because it was not reported in the "political donation law", and then it went to ko wen-je's related accounts, that is, embezzlement.

wu zijia said, "this is very simple. if he takes a leave today and is taken into custody on saturday, he will most likely be like zheng wencan, who came back after 47 days. he took a month off and is still the chairman of the people's party." wu zijia admitted, "it would be even worse if ko wen-je had not retained the chairmanship of the people's party. the reason why the prosecutors and investigators are acting so cautiously today is because he is the chairman of the people's party. ko wen-je's umbrella of protection is the chairman of the people's party."

however, wu zijia also mentioned, "but ko wen-je doesn't understand, and it's not his fault, because he founded the people's party, so he thinks the people's party is his property, and it doesn't matter if it's broken or destroyed. tsai bi-ru can scold me, but i won't pay any attention to you." wu zijia finally said, "ko wen-je doesn't even consider the people of the people's party as big shots. he asked for leave just to keep his position as chairman of the people's party."

in response to this, guo zhengliang said, "ko wen-je is taking a leave of absence for the past three months. basically, everyone expects that if everything goes well, he will come back to continue serving as the chairman of the people's party. so ko wen-je basically still believes that the position of chairman of the people's party has a self-protection function, and if he resigns, it will be a clean slate."

guo zhengliang emphasized, "basically, ko wen-je is now facing legal issues. at this stage, it is no longer a matter of image scrutiny or facing external doubts. he has to face legal requirements and respond directly." guo zhengliang also gave an example, "for example, the most questioned question is whether there are invoices. we still haven't seen them today, and some people have accumulated that there may be more than 25 million yuan without invoices. he still attributed this part to poor accounting and passed it over."

guo zhengliang finally said, "the problem is that there are no invoices for the money, so where did it go? of course, the prosecutors and investigators will investigate this, because if the money does not have an invoice, is not reported in the 'political donations act', and then goes to your related account, it is embezzlement."
