Ko Speaks About Yang Hui-ju, Campaigns in Changhua|為政黨票衝刺 柯文哲南下彰化掃街拜票

Taiwan People's Party Chairperson Ko Wen-je traveled to Changhua County on Jan. 2 to campaign alongside legislator-at-large nominee Huang Ching-ying. He was asked about the case of Yang Hui-ju, who is under investigation for paying an Internet army to influence public opinion. Yang previously applied to the Taipei City Government for subsidies. Ko has asked the city government to transfer related documents to investigators.


Taiwan People's Party Chairperson Ko Wen-je and legislator-at-large nominee Huang Ching-ying ride a campaign vehicle and appeal to the public to vote for the TPP on the political party ballot as the vehicle travels through Changhua County's Hemei Township. Ko was asked about reports that Yang Hui-ju, who is under investigation for paying an Internet army to influence public opinion, applied for subsidies from the central government and from the Taipei City Government. He said his remarks are based on evidence, and expressed his hope that the central government will cooperate with the investigation.

What evidence there is and what it says will be handed over to investigators for processing. This is the equivalent of me throwing out a ball. The Taipei City Government will hand over everything it has. The issue that remains is that she applied for money from many central government entities, so we'll see if these central government entities are willing to hand over what information they have. That will make comparisons easier.

Ko said Yang duplicated her subsidy applications to the Taipei City Government and central government, so related informations need to be compared to be verified. He has already asked the city government to quickly compile related documents, and send them to investigators as well as to the Taipei City Council for a report. Ko was also asked about Foxconn Group founder Terry Gou, who has been cozying up to the People First Party as of late.

We were always going to take our own paths. If there are times when Chairman Gou comes to help us out, we will consider it as a bonus. This is the safest approach we can take. In other words, we rely on ourselves, and any additional assistance is a bonus.

Ko said the TPP is taking its own path, and he considers it a bonus for Gou to help out. This is the safest approach he can take, as well as the most uncomplicated approach.



民眾黨主席柯文哲、與黨內不分區立委候選人黃瀞瑩站在宣傳車上，沿路掃街拜票，他們南下彰化縣和美鎮要為政黨票來衝刺，對於"卡神"楊蕙如申請政府補助一案，柯文哲強調，看證據來講話，也希望中央單位也能配合調查。

台灣民眾黨主席 柯文哲表示：「有多少證據講多少話，就送檢調再處理，不過這個也是，這等於我是丟出一個球，台北市這邊，台北市政府，這邊一定會全部交出來嘛，那剩下，問題是，可是她是向中央很多單位，也申請錢嘛，那就看中央單位，要不要把資料交出來，這樣才有辦法比對嘛。」

柯文哲表示，楊蕙如是向台北市政府還有中央單位重複申請補助，所以相關資料需要交叉比對，目前已經要求北市府儘快完成相關公文，除了移送檢調，也將送台北市議會進行報告；另外對於鴻海集團創辦人郭台銘，近期似乎改挺親民黨，柯文哲也作出回應。

台灣民眾黨主席 柯文哲表示：「我們本來就是走自己的路嘛，那如果有些場合，郭董來幫忙，我們就當作是額外附加的嘛，用這種心態做事是最安全的，就是說我們都靠自己，人家有多的幫忙，就算是賺到的。」

柯文哲說，民眾黨有自己的路線，他認為，如果郭台銘願意來幫民眾黨助選，就當作是賺到，用這樣的態度來做事是最安全的，心裡會比較輕鬆。
