Gov't to handle ICAC matter: CE

April 30, 2013

Chief Executive CY Leung says the Government will decide how to handle allegations against the former ICAC Commissioner for misusing public funds, after the commission has followed up on the facts of the matter internally.
 
Speaking to reporters before attending an Executive Council meeting today, Mr Leung said the Legislative Council’s Public Accounts Committee will investigate the matter, and noted there are suggestions from the public on the next step to take.
 
Mr Leung said his administration places great importance on the principles of integrity and simplicity, and has promoted such a culture since he took office.
 
He said officials don’t wear boutonnieres at official activities, organisers have been asked not to give them souvenirs, gifts are not exchanged as far as possible, and tap water is served at all meetings instead of bottled water.
