1. Acceptance of People's Petitions

¡@¡@Article 4 of the Control Law stipulates that the Control Yuan and its members may receive people’s written complaints. According to the rules for implementing the Law and the regulations governing the taking and handling of people’s written complaints by the Control Yuan, a citizen, after finding a public functionary having violated his or her duties, shall list the facts and evidence in detail and report them directly to the Control Yuan or its members. The same rules stipulate that, in handling such complaints, the Control Yuan shall set up a member-on-duty office to enable its members to review and decide such complaints in rotation every day. The member on duty shall, basing on the facts contained in a written complaint, decide whether to refer it to the member in charge for investigation, commission a relevant organization to investigate, or handle it in any other appropriate manner. Nevertheless, if the case does not fall in the jurisdiction of the Control Yuan, the complaint shall be rejected. After a complaint is processed, the Department of Supervisory Operation of the Control Yuan, as a rule, will inform the complainant in writing.
