Taipei City Government

On the afternoon of the 25th, Taipei Mayor Chiang Wan-an chaired the 42nd Clean Government Committee Meeting, which also served as the 1st Anti-Corruption Briefing of 2026. Committee members were invited to review the implementation measures of the Public Interest Whistleblower Protection Act and the city government's public works construction inspection mechanisms, in order to propose further improvements.

During the meeting, the Department of Government Ethics reported on its response measures and promotional efforts regarding the implementation of the Public Interest Whistleblower Protection Act. They also outlined plans to establish cross-agency communication channels within the city government. Mayor Chiang emphasized that the key to success lies in building whistleblowers' absolute trust in the agencies handling their reports, alongside the continuous enforcement of robust protection measures.

Furthermore, to ensure the quality and safety of the city's public works, the Public Works Department presented a performance report of the city's Construction Inspection Task Force over the past three years, detailing upcoming improvement strategies. Mayor Chiang directed that since construction quality directly impacts the safety of citizens' lives and property, all agencies must effectively rectify any shortcomings identified during inspections and actively strengthen their project management capabilities.

The attending committee members focused their discussions on strengthening the whistleblower protection network and enhancing the practical effectiveness of construction inspections. They also highly praised the city government's ongoing efforts in promoting clean governance and safeguarding construction quality.

Finally, Mayor Chiang thanked the members for taking the time to attend and provide valuable feedback. He noted that regularly holding these committee meetings harnesses the power of external oversight, deeply embedding the core values of integrity and transparency into every major infrastructure project and administrative action, ultimately achieving the goal of clean urban governance.
