The Chief Executive Carrie Lam said in a radio program today (28th) that the government will take the oath or sign the declaration of incumbent civil servants in one go. She emphasized that the oath is a natural responsibility of civil servants and will not be implemented in stages.

Carrie Lam said that the oath of civil servants will not be carried out in stages.

Carrie Lam said that civil servants are employees of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region and have the duty to support the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region. It is natural to support one country, two systems and uphold the Basic Law. She does not see the need to be carried out in stages. She pointed out that someone from the outside world understands that oaths are a condition of employment. Clarify the concept, because civil servants themselves have this responsibility and obligation, so unless they can’t do it technically, they don’t see the need to proceed in stages.

When asked whether the government intends to submit amendments this year to improve the arrangements for public officials to take oaths, whether the arrangements will cover district board members, Carrie Lam said that it is still necessary to discuss and study carefully, including what is meant by public officials, because some people think it should be issued by the government. Salary is used as the standard, and some opinions consider whether the position has public power as the standard. For example, the Securities Regulatory Commission has great public power, so it is not convenient to disclose it at this time.
