The Taipei City Government recently brought the issue of rapid screening to the central government. Mayor Ko Wenzhe apologized at the parliament for “too much confidence in the central government’s distribution of epidemic prevention materials.” However, DPP legislator Lin Chuyin criticized in a Facebook post today (9) that the Taipei City Government purchased the least amount of quick screening tests from January to April this year.
Lin Chuyin posted on Facebook “Information on Bid Awards for the Purchase of COVID-19 Rapid Screening Reagents by Various Agencies from January to April in 2011”. Among the local governments, the Taipei City Government has 2 procurement cases, and the award amount is 535,000 yuan. , which is the least among the local governments; the Kaohsiung City Government, which has the largest purchase amount, has 4 pieces, with an amount of 52.8 million, a difference of nearly 100 times.
The rest of the local governments purchased 1 piece. Taoyuan City Government purchased 8.64 million yuan, New Taipei City government 7 million yuan, Taichung City Government 5.1 million yuan, Yilan County Government 4.34 million yuan, Hualien County Government 970,000 yuan, Changhua County Government 720,000 yuan, Kinmen County Government 690,000.
Netizens also mocked in the comment area, “the capital is lower than Kinmen County”, and some Kaohsiung netizens said “I am proud to be a Kaohsiung native.”
In an interview yesterday, Ke Wenzhe said that he would admit his mistake for deleting the 2.8 billion yuan budget for purchasing anti-epidemic supplies because he “trusted the central government too much.” He also mentioned that at that time, the central ministry would emphasize that anti-epidemic materials would be handled by the central government. The local government can buy “unreasonable”.
Huang Shanshan also criticized the central government a few days ago for not allowing the public to buy rapid screening, not coexistence, but direct “abandonment and surrender”, calling on the central government to open up the import of international rapid screening reagents.
The Ministry of Economic Affairs also responded that there is no ban on quick screening imports, only fixed requisitions, and there are still open and free sales.
Mayor Ke Wenzhe apologized in parliament for “too much trust in the central government to distribute anti-epidemic materials”, and vice mayor Huang Shanshan even directly criticized the central government for “abandoning”
