Taiwan's KMT proposes penalties for legislative contempt.

Taiwan's Chinese Nationalist Party (KMT) proposes new penalties for contempt of the legislature and false testimony during legislative inquiries. KMT's reforms aim to enhance legislative oversight, including open ballot for speaker/deputy speaker election, normalizing presidential reports, and increasing legislature's role in personnel appointments. Critics say it's a power grab, while the DPP and Taiwan People's Party advise caution.
