Taipei: A Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) councilor on Monday blasted the Kuomintang (KMT)-led Taipei city government's response to a "severe" rodent problem, prompting KMT accusations of politicization ahead of local elections.
According to Focus Taiwan, Hsu Shu-hua of the DPP criticized the Taipei City government for its slow response to the "growing" rodent problem, while Liu Tsai-wei of the Kuomintang (KMT) accused the DPP of exaggerating the issue to gain an edge ahead of local elections.
Citing Taipei Mayor Chiang Wan-an's attendance at only one of three related meetings since February, Hsu questioned his commitment to addressing the issue.
