Faced with such questions, Wei Tuan, head of the Directorate-General of Budget, Accounting, and Statistics, says that the money need not come from any single year's budget, but will be spread across several years. In addition, besides the already-passed budgets, the government could also ask for a follow-up or special appropriation. Funds might also come from private sector contributions or from the International Cooperation and Development Fund.
面對各界質疑，行政院主計處主計長韋端指出，這筆經費的支出並無具體年限，應是跨年度支出，而且除了已編列總預算的項目之外，政府還可以追加預算，以及編列特別預算等方式因應，另外也有可能以民間捐款或是國際合作發展基金會等形式籌措。
