Conferences make money, but the government pays for transportation.
People broke the news that Chen Datian, as city government construction director, and his wife, as director of the home registration office in Wuri district, were using the official recreational vehicle rented by the maintenance office. from the construction office. The driver drove him for private business on weekdays. Considered as a personal private vehicle, this type of bogus public-private behavior is no longer suitable for any level of supervisor, judicial and political organizations are expected to intervene in the investigation as soon as possible.
In response to the public disclosures, Taichung City Construction Director Chen Datian personally went to the firing line and said that he and his wife went to the bank at noon to request a declaration of ownership from a public official. They would be refueled and invoiced when teaching in Xingda or when driving on vacation. On holidays, he took his wife to the Taiwan Sugar Ecological Park to inspect the final construction of the project. They still used official vehicles on their own in accordance with the law, and they never used the driver’s fuel card to refuel.
He said that the first-level head of the municipality is an administrative official who is on alert 24 hours a day. There is no time to go to work, and there is no restriction on the parking place for official cars. However, he has always strictly adhered to the line and distinguished between public and private.

Chen Datian candidly said that the Construction Bureau has projects of more than tens of billions of yuan a year. Since he served as a public servant, in addition to strictly observing his own integrity, he also requires that other colleagues pay attention to his own ethics and pay attention to the outside world. It is absolutely necessary for him to defend his innocence, which is why he has asked Xing Da to intervene in the investigation and the handling, “because he is open and is not afraid of the investigation.”
Huang Guowei, director of the Zhongshi Information Office, said that according to the “Taichung city government and the law of use and administration of official vehicles of various agencies,” the first-level head of the city of Taichung It is equipped with official vehicles and drivers belonging to the agency to assist in the use of official transportation needs. For private use, you must pay for gas. Director Chen has provided the corresponding invoice for the use of official vehicles during unofficial periods. The use of official vehicles by Director Chen Datian has been investigated as being “used in accordance with the law.” In the case of “private use”, private use of unofficial time also involves paying for gas and issuing bills to refute the false accusations of the complainant.
Lawyer Lin Qiongjia said that the construction director is an administrative officer who primarily assists in municipal public affairs and should be on alert at all times or on local visits. If the official vehicle is used in accordance with the pertinent regulations established by the municipal government and the gas is in charge of the private trip, there will be no violation of the law; In addition, the director and his wife are public servants and must declare their property in accordance with the regulations of the Superintendency. Therefore, going to the bank during business hours to request tax returns is within the scope of official functions and has not violated the regulations or the law.

Their actions may have a love-hate relationship with the official or the reason for seeking specific interests, which may be involved in article 315 of the Criminal Law.
