Minister of the Interior Jiang Yi-huah said
Monday that incumbent and former heads of state
and their deputies are entitled to certain
privileges and resources "but in the execution
of their duties, security authorities should
gauge the propriety of their actions." He was
responding to a report accusing President Ma
Ying-jeou of abusing his privileges Nov. 28 when
his security detail used megaphones to demand
other vehicles in a traffic jam on the highway
to clear an inner lane for the president's
motorcade.
