The Chinese Nationalist Party (KMT) and People First Party (PFP) caucuses have finalized a constitutional complaint against the government’s Forward-looking Infrastructure Program, and are to submit it to the Council of Grand Justices on Monday.

KMT caucus secretary-general Lin Wei-chou (林為洲) made the announcement on Thursday at a news conference the KMT caucus called to explain its goals for the new legislative session that began yesterday.

Both caucuses have protested against the way Legislative Speaker Su Jia-chyuan (蘇嘉全) handled the review of the Cabinet’s budget requests for the infrastructure program after the NT$108.9 billion (US$3.61 billion) budget for its first stage was approved last month.

An extempore motion tendered by the majority Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) caucus calling for more than 10,000 motions by the KMT to be dismissed was passed after Su put it to a vote, allowing swift passage of the budget requests.
