This year, the Legislative Council Finance Committee held a total of 127-hour meetings and approved 327.8 billion yuan in appropriation, which is the largest number of this year's Legislative Council. Chairman Chan Jianbo pointed out that the review efficiency has been greatly improved, but he did not agree with the statement that the Finance Committee has become an "ATM".
Chen Jianbo pointed out that the number of meetings held by the Financial Committee of the Legislative Council was less than that of the previous session, but the efficiency of the meeting was significantly improved. The average time for deliberation of a project during this session was forty-six minutes, which was less than the average time for two hours and twenty-four minutes in the previous session. He described this year's work as "the bitterness is over and the sweetness is coming" and "it seems like a different life", which means that the opposition disappeared after leaving parliament and the efficiency of deliberation has been greatly improved.
However, Chen Jianbo criticized some officials for not being prepared and went to the Finance Committee for commenting, unable to deal with the issue of parliamentarians and being incompetent. He said that if officials still "walking in the garden and stammering", lawmakers will no longer tolerate these "redundant officials"'s incompetence and dereliction of duty, indicating that there is room for improvement in the attitudes and behaviors of individual officials.
I have talked about the structure and performance of the Hong Kong government in my articles many times. Since 25th year since the return of Hong Kong to , the entire government operation has been Xiao Rules and Cao Sui, and it is still maintaining the British colonial governance model. AO and EO officials lead the 180,000 civil servants, various bureaus and departments, and the senior permanent secretary has the greatest power. The director is just a "release official", but the government department is an "iron yamen". Civil servants have been practicing the long-term salary system in the past and can eat long-term food after retirement. In recent years, civil servants have only changed to a contract system. However, since the civil servant employment mechanism has not been revised for many years, it is not easy to dismiss a lazy and incompetent civil servant.
Civil servants are still accustomed to writing reports in English. How many senior officials can write excellent and wonderful Chinese "reports" and speak fluently Mandarin , let alone middle and lower-level officials. Even the police force has carried out and flag-raising ceremony, which has only been reformed in recent years, and the judicial department has a strong colonial color. Am I wrong?
Today, the Legislative Yuan will send MPs to sweep the floor and go out, just because the implementation of the National Security Law has such a quiet and efficient situation, which is really hard to come by. I hope that the Legislative Council and the Chief Executive election will be held soon, so that the virtuous and capable patriotic people who love Hong Kong can be elected, and they can be brave enough to take responsibility, destroy the old and establish the new, and lead Hong Kong to set sail again and move towards a bright future.
