The amount of “balances” in military purchases held by the US Department of Defense from various military purchases is rumored to be nearly 200 billion Taiwanese dollars, with only about 8 billion paid to the national treasury each year. In this regard, the Ministry of National Defense refuted today (18) that the content of the information cited in the report was inconsistent with the facts, and it did not matter that “182 officers had registered a serious crime in the case of arms purchases.”
The Ministry of National Defense has five clarifications, including: 1. There are clear and rigorous operating procedures for the financial management of US military purchases. The balance of the arms purchase case will be reported to the State Treasury by the Ministry in accordance with regulations; The amount indicated in the report is based on Payment of the quote was completed and the US side has not yet delivered the amount on the account, not the “balance of the gun purchase case.” 2. After the US side provides regular reports for our review of the military purchase account case funds, it will be sent to the Main Accounting Office and the Executive Yuan Audit Department for verification to achieve a double entry monitoring mechanism. 3. For the case of purchase of arms that the United States agrees to offer for sale, the Ministry will complete the construction procedures in accordance with the regulations and prepare a budget, and will only sign an offer with the United States after the legislative Yuan have reviewed and approved. 4. It is not true that the relevant media affirm that “182 military personnel have been registered due to the surplus of military purchases.” This data is a statistical data on the punishment for drunk driving and other military disciplinary cases between 104 and 107, not for financial violations. Please do not misrepresent. 5. Relevant misinformation can mislead the public. The Ministry clarifies that at a time when the regional situation is dire, it calls on the Chinese people to continue to support the development of the army and jointly safeguard national security.
Kuomintang lawmaker Lai Shibao recently presented information to the Legislative Yuan Finance Committee that major government agencies have been punished for financial breaches of 359 cases this year. The central government has 25 cases. Among them, the Ministry of National Defense reports 262 cases and even the Ministry of Audit. There are 182 agents who have suffered a great demerit in the investigation.
As for when the recent US sales will be compiled.Of China’s seven arms purchase budgets, the Comptroller-in-Chief of the Executive Yuan Zhu Zemin said: “At this stage, it is still waiting for the Ministry to Defense File an Application “. The Skyhawk project buys the rest of the AH-64E helicopter, but the United States has requested it to embezzle other weapons. The US military will sell seven weapons to China, and there is no formal notification procedure to Congress.
The Executive Yuan recently confirmed that the “balance” of military purchases held by the Ministry of National Defense in the US account even reached almost 200 billion Taiwanese dollars, and only about 8 billion were transferred to the national treasury each year.
In this regard, Auditor General Chen Ruimin said: “We still hope that the Ministry of National Defense can recover this money.”
