Citizens took advantage of the third day of the Lunar New Year to petition outside the government headquarters. Member Li Zijing expressed his hope that the government would upgrade the functions of district committees to replace the functions and performance of district councils.

Li Zijing said that the district councils are only a consultative framework, so other consultative frameworks can replace their functions.
He pointed out that among the 18 districts in Hong Kong, 16 districts have area committees, and each district council has several sub-committees. There are 67 different sub-committees in Hong Kong, with a total of more than 1,000 members. , So it can broadly represent society.
Li Zijing also pointed out that currently only the North District and Tai Po do not have sub-committees in the 18 districts. He believes that the government should set up additional committees to enhance relevant functions.
Civic Force Lin Yuxing quoted the Secretary for Home Affairs Xu Yingwei as saying that the district councils are no longer valid, calling on the government to review the development of district councils, and suggesting more funding for sub-committees.

Li Zijing suspected of misquoting Deng Bingqiang's remarks and falsely claiming that the crime rate has risen and blamed the Fight Crime Committee for not receiving funding
Li Zijing pointed out that he used to be a member of the area committee in Sham Shui Po East, and also quoted the Commissioner of Police, Tang Ping-keung, saying, "Recently, "the first brother" Tang Ping-keung has mentioned that the crime rate has increased recently. One of the reasons is the District Council. Unwilling to allocate funds to the Fight Crime Committee."
However, checking the relevant report of Ta Kung Pao, Tang Bingqiang said that on the same day that many district fight crime committees reported that the amount of money applied to the district council for promotion and publicity was significantly reduced to only 10% in the past, he believed that this would affect the police’s crime prevention publicity and directly affect the fight. Crime does not mean that the crime rate has increased.
Lin Wen, chairman of the Kowloon City District Fight Crime Committee, said in an interview earlier that the council received an allocation of 430,000 yuan from the District Council in 2019, but only received an allocation of 30,000 yuan after the election, because applications involving police funding will not be approved.
Some Sham Shui Po District Councillors pointed out that the district did indeed have a discussion on whether to approve funding to the Fight Crime Committee.
However, there are also district boards whose situation is different. For example, the Yau Tsim Mong Fight Crime Committee did not apply for funding from the district boards throughout the year. The seminar on youth crime prevention that was not completed at the end of last year was also affected by the epidemic and was postponed until this year. Start.
