Taipei City Government is going to set up an Anti-Corruption Platform for significant procurements to Promote civic engagement
In order to prevent malpractice, Ko Wen-Je, mayor of Taipei, announced that there will be an “Anti-corruption Platform” for every procurement priced more than NT$ 10 billion in Taipei City. It is expected that the Taipei Main Station Special Zones (C1/D1) development project will hold the draft of the selection documents for public viewing and investment briefing at the end of this year, and it will be the first Anti-Corruption Platform in Taipei. At that time, all information will be fully disclosed to promote civic engagement. This project has been controversial for a while. In April this year, the Taipei city government has publicly appraised and sought professional consultants for financial evaluation and investment promotion. It plans to seek investors publicly next March and is expected to complete the contract within one year.
