█立委停會輔選 監督聯盟批自肥

〔記者施曉光/台北報導〕配合總統大選返鄉輔選,立法院昨起開始停會,直到選後再恢復開會,引來公民監督國會聯盟到院外抗議,質疑立委不開會還領錢,根本就是自肥。

踢館藍委 都沒簽改革承諾書

公民監督國會聯盟表示,原本希望第七屆立委能夠全部簽下「國會改革承諾書」,但直到十二日踢館事件發生後,四位闖禍的國民黨立委剛好都沒有簽署。

該聯盟指出,從二月一日立委報到至三月十一日止,立法院各委員會與院會的未開會天數,都在八到九天,如果以每名立委日薪六千元計算,一百一十三位立委總共浪費了人民二百七十一萬二千元,如今又要停會,根本就是自肥。

該聯盟成員、澄社社長詹長權表示,他懷疑那些私闖謝總部的國民黨立委是否真的懂法律,如果這些人連法律都搞不清楚,怎麼能到立法院當立委。

█Presidential election 2008: 7 days to go: CCW protests legislators' conduct

By Loa Iok-sin
STAFF REPORTER
Saturday, Mar 15, 2008, Page 3
Citizen Congress Watch (CCW) urged legislators to return their salaries to the state coffers yesterday, accusing them of taking too much time off as they prepared to take a week off ahead of next Saturday's presidential election.

"The newly elected lawmakers started their term 41 days ago, but so far they've only been at work for around 10 days," the group's executive director Ho Tsung-hsun (何宗勳) said during a protest in front of the legislature yesterday.

What angered the CCW members more was that the lawmakers are taking the next week off to campaign for the presidential election, meaning there will be no more legislative meetings until March 25.

"What does the presidential election have to do with what a lawmaker is supposed to do?" he said.

"A lawmaker is paid NT$180,000 [US$6,000] each month, NT$6,000 per day on average," Ho said. "By the time the presidential election is over, we taxpayers will have paid them about NT$14 million [US$455,000] for nothing!"

The protesters also expressed their disappointment at the level of sincerity legislators and party leaders have shown on making reform within the legislature.

"[Chinese Nationalist Party (KMT) presidential candidate] Ma Ying-jeou [馬英九] said just this morning that legislative reform is important. But he never agreed to meet with us or sign our legislative reform promise," Ho said.

Ku Chung-hua (顧忠華), chairman of the group, agreed.

"There are more than 30 KMT lawmakers who have not signed the promise -- including the four who were involved in the fracas at [Democratic Progressive Party presidential candidate] Frank Hsieh's [謝長廷] campaign office two days ago," Ku said, adding that such disruptive behavior will continue without proper legislative reform.

"We, the voters, should not allow the representatives that we elected to step out of line," he said.

█立委放假比開會勤快 公督盟要求退還薪資

2008/03/14 苦勞報導

第七屆立委自2月1日就職運作,但是至今天為止只開了13天的會,下週又因為總統大選再度停擺一個星期(17-21日)。這消息引發由40多個NGO團體組成的公民監督國會聯盟,前往立法院抗議,痛批立委是「吃錢大怪獸」,充滿了自肥的心態。

公督盟的執行長何宗勳,提出公督盟的觀察報告指出,立委薪資每個月、每人實領是184960元,相當於一人、一天平均是6000元。但自2月份就職以來,至今天共43天,如果不計一般公務人員的法定假期,各委會的會議平均曠職天數高達9天、平均曠職人數高達15人。總計曠職立委每人及曠職天數所得的「乾薪」,浪費百姓的血汗錢高達14,484,000元,依公督盟看法,可供應40萬名國小學童每人一頓營養午餐。

各聲援團體與公督盟,站在立法院門口高喊:「不開會,就退錢!」並且要求當選立委簽署「國會改革承諾書」,目前尚未簽署的有34人,將近三成。何宗勳表示,立法院開議後,立委們卻不認真審查法案,至今都還沒通過任何法案。公督盟指責,院會儼然成為總統大選的第二戰場,在短短的一週內安排16場的官員備詢報告,公督盟理事長顧忠華指出:「總統大選與立委有何相關呢?立委卻藉機休會五天,應受全民譴責」。

綠台文教基金會前召集人高成炎呼籲,總統候選人應該馬上同意簽署國會改革承諾書,公開表態支持國會改革。不過現在僅有民進黨總統候選人謝長廷簽署,公督盟也指出,尚未簽署的立委,也全都是國民黨籍的,澄社社長詹長權批評:「已然成型的一黨獨大的國會是不可能進步。」

█馬須誓言改革國會

在最後一場政見發表會上,馬英九闡述的政見比較完整多樣,而謝長廷則以犀利的攻擊見長,政見方面顯然較弱。有趣的是,馬多次強調三不:不引進大陸勞工、不進口大陸農產品、不開放大陸人來台考專業證照;可是謝還是主打陸勞來台搶工作、農產品傾銷台灣的惡果。同樣的,謝一再追問馬以前說的「終極統一」,改變了沒有?馬也避而不答。這件事很重要,馬閃躲很讓中間和淺綠選民起疑。

踢館事件 馬謝展風度
馬在經濟政策上,總算說明了他認為大建設不會引起通膨的理由,因為台灣經濟並沒有過熱;也引外國專家意見指出,全球應該請回被冷凍30年的凱因斯。雖然凱因斯是否適合此時的台灣,大建設是否真的不會引發通膨,還是受人質疑,但總算沒再躲避。
關於立委踢館事件,馬一開始就向謝鞠躬道歉,謝也沒得理不饒人地上綱到一黨獨霸,都顯示了良好的民主風度,令人寬慰。不過,馬說他若當選,會以道德高度要求黨籍立委,並改革國會。謝則懷疑馬管理立委和改革的能力。
國民黨在立院極多數,根據過去慣例,立委們肯定是不可一世,囂張跋扈,問政與立法品質雙螺旋向下沉淪;尤其本屆國民黨立委素質低劣,牛鬼蛇神、豬頭狗臉、地痞流氓,無所不有,能期待這些活寶不搞錢、不關說、不施壓、不包攬,簡直緣木求魚。大錢當前,馬英九就算當上總統,也可能約束不了黑金的氾濫。這次踢館事件已可以看出一黨獨大的惡兆,大選結束後,警報解除,更不知立委會惡霸到什麼地步?

推動改革 立法院優先
所以,請馬英九現在宣誓,一旦當選後,乘著新科總統的優勢與氣勢,推動朝野優先改革立法院,包括陽光法案、有關立委自清和約束的法案、議事規則現代化、立法品質、問政方式與行政院關係等等,畢其功於一役。
這些改革務必須制度化,不是馬口頭警告,或逼簽什麼公約可以成事;須知上有政策,下有對策,等馬遭國務纏身,無暇他顧之際,立委們就日久玩生,故態復萌了。那時就是台灣人民噩夢的開始。
