Stumping mechanism
In September 2007, Chen said that appointed government officials should concentrate to their own work than to stump for party election candidates. He added that the stumping mechanism would only be activated after 10 October 2007, saying that the next legislative election in 2008 would adopt a new "single-member constituency, two votes" electoral system and the Legislative Yuan would also be streamlined by having the number of legislators from 225 to 113.[2]
Corrupt official appointment allegation
In April 2008, after the news that Huang Fu-yuan, the Director of Taiwan Power Company (Taipower) North Branch, allegedly committed bribery by handing out NT$20 million to ensure his promotion to the position of Vice President of Taipower, Economic Affairs Minister Steve Chen for the first time admitted in the Legislative Yuan that it was Chen who recommended Huang and that also many people were in support of the appointment. Chen however responded that although many people recommended Huang for the position, he only conveyed the message to the Ministry.[3]
