Jiang Yi-huah (Chinese: 江宜樺; pinyin: Jiāng Yíhuà; born 18 November 1960) is a Taiwanese politician and former Premier of the Republic of China (Taiwan).
[6] Jiang entered politics for the first time in 2008 when he was appointed as the Minister of Research, Development and Evaluation Commission of the Executive Yuan on 20 May 2008.
[6] During a press conference in June 2009, Jiang said that the Human Rights Protection and Promotion Committee of the Executive Yuan has decided to abolish Article 80 of the Social Order Maintenance Act which regulates sexual transaction that can cause detention or fining of the sex workers.
[6] In July 2012, Jiang said that the Executive Yuan is mulling immigration and population policy in order to attract foreign talents, boost human capital and improve Taiwan's competitiveness.
He added that policies from various ministries will be integrated so that this regulation change won't affect much to the current local employment.
[15] In April 2013, responding to the remark from the DPP legislator, Jiang reaffirmed that the detention of former President Chen Shui-bian in Taipei Prison is not politically motivated, but purely because of his corruption crime.
The move came after several corruption cases involving Cabinet Secretary-General Lin Yi-shih and Kuomintang Taipei City Councilor Lai Su-ju.
