Mayor Ko Wen-je, passed the corrective version of the "Taipei City Government Clean Government Committee Rules of Formation" during the city conference on January 20th morning. In order to keep his promise that had been made before the election, Ko founded The Clean Government Committee, the members of which comprised fourteen unprejudiced, impartial celebrities and erudite scholars. The Committee would expect to hold its first meeting on February, 2015

Department of Government Ethics, Taipei City Government (DOGE) indicated that the correction of the "Taipei City Government Clean Government Committee Rules of Formation" took new approach. The correction’s purpose was to clear the old way of doing things by removing internally confined inspection. In the new way, the Committee not only reserved half of the member seats to unprejudiced, nongovernmental celebrities and professional scholars, but also allocated the members the authority to receive report and to investigate. Now, the early mission of the Committee was to re-initiate the investigation of Meihe City scandal and oversee the developmental project of twin towers, and so on. In doing so, the Committee could allow open transparency to formerly sealed and hidden investigation.
