Cuts to State Affairs Fund and Cabinet’s Administrative Fund planned (2012/11/06)
馬陳砍特支
繼立法院自砍九A預算之後，總統馬英九和行政院長陳?今天也宣佈，刪減1/4的機要費和特別費，希望消弭朝野對立、全力拚經濟！
國務機要費猛被追打，馬總統趁著和華人企業領袖對談，做出重大宣示。

“我們政府的財政相當地困難，所以我要藉這個機會宣布，我願意主動刪減國務機要費一千萬元，希望我們社會不論是朝野，能夠不要在許多問題上，再進行不必要的內耗，讓我們全力地能夠回到，拚經濟的主軸”
行政院長和總統幾乎同一時間，口徑一致，陳?102年度的施政推展連繫機要費加上特別費原本編列1026萬6千元，自砍四分之一，相當於刪掉225萬。而馬總統102年度國務機要費編列4千萬，刪掉一千萬，剩下三千萬。
儘管綠營質疑馬總統就任以來，國務機要費一直增加，但總統府再度發出新聞稿強調，國務機要費一向都是公款公用，一切都合法。
President Ma Ying-jeou has agreed to reduce his State Affairs Fund by 25 percent, and Premier Sean Chen pledged a similar reduction to the Cabinet’s Administrative Fund. They hope these cuts will be enough to appease pan-green legislators calling for greater attention to the ailing economy.
President Ma used an opportunity to speak before Chinese business leaders to make a major announcement about his State Affairs Fund.
President Ma Ying-jeou
Our government has encountered fiscal difficulties, so I would like to take this opportunity to announce that we are reducing the State Affairs Fund by NT$10 million. We hope our society won’t be subject to partisan disputes and unnecessary debate so we can fully concentrate on improving the economy.
President Ma and Premier Chen made the budget announcements nearly at the same time. The Cabinet will see its Administrative Fund of around NT$10.3 million cut by one-quarter in 2013, or about NT$2.25mn, while the President’s State Affairs Fund in 2013 will go from NT$40 million to NT$30 million, losing NT$10 million.
Although the pan-green camp criticized Ma for increasing the State Affairs Fund, Ma responded in a press release saying all information related to the fund has always been made public and all expenditures have been legal.
