No plan to appoint CE-elect special assistant

May 09, 2012

The Chief Executive-elect’s Office has no plan at present to appoint any person to the Special Assistant post, Secretary for the Civil Service Denise Yue says.
 
Speaking in reply to a query in the Legislative Council today, Miss Yue said the Administration has deployed 28 civil servants to work in the office. 
 
The Administration had also agreed to two special appointments on non-civil service terms, the office head and the Special Assistant. Two additional non-civil service posts of Project Officer, and one additional non-civil service post of Public Relations Officer would be provided to the office until June 30, she said.
 
The posts are to meet the office’s manpower requirement. Non-civil service posts are all government employees.
 
Miss Yue said the Administration approved the provision of three additional non-civil service posts for the office, and not the splitting of the Special Assistant post into several posts.
