An anti-corruption agency is currently underway in dealing with the scandals that have been headlining the news, including the allegedly bribes involving the judges, and the accused relationship between the police officers and the outlaws.

However, for the agency to really run its course, an agreement is needed between the green and the blue parties.

Premier Wu Den-yih yesterday said that the government will seek to set up an anti-corruption agency as soon as in next week, in the wake of a series of scandals involving judges who allegedly took bribery.

The idea to set up such agency was mentioned when President Ma Ying-jeou was minister of Justice and also in the campaign platform when Ma ran for office in 2008.

Even in the DPP administration, former minister of justice Chen Ding-nan proposed a draft to set up an anti-corruption agency under Ministry of Justice.

However, no progress was made since the proposal was delivered to the Legislature.

In fact, the draft of the anti-corruption agency has been sent to the legislature for more than 30 times, where the blue and green camp legislators never seem to reach a consensus.

Even the Judicial Reform Foundation remains reserved over the proposal.

Are the functions of the proposed agency overlapping with current Civil Service Ethics Office nationwide?

And whether the investigation rights overlap that of the investigation bureau has contributed to the disputes over the establishment of such agency.
