Carrie Lam: The current inability to hold district board by-elections should be decided by the next

The current district councils have experienced resignation and DQ waves. Originally, there were only about 150 members of 479 district councilors. Many district councils had only two or three members, and they could not operate normally.

Chief Executive Carrie Lam Cheng Yuet-ngor was asked at a press conference today (30th) how to deal with the suspension of district councils. Carrie Lam said that the district councils have a four-year term since they took office in January 2020. It is a fact that the district councils are "incomplete" if they meet the requirements of the oath. If the district council platform is used to promote district work, its representativeness will be greatly reduced.

Lam solemnly reiterated that there is no ability to hold a by-election before June 30 next year, and it should be decided by the next government.

Carrie Lam mentioned that one of the functions of the government's proposal to reorganize the Civil Affairs Bureau is to free up the energy of the Bureau to examine where the administration and local management will be closer to the citizens' requirements. I believe the Civil Affairs Bureau will begin to think about it.

In his October Policy Address, Lam Cheng proposed to reorganize the government structure, suggesting that the Civil Affairs Bureau should be changed to the Youth and District Development Bureau to strengthen the district-based approach to solve the daily concerns of the citizens and provide a one-stop platform for youth development. .

In 2019, the democrats in the district elections won a big victory and won more than 380 seats. However, after taking office, the relationship with the government was tense. For example, the authorities refused to provide secretariat services on the grounds that the discussion matters exceeded the functions of the district council.

By the middle of this year, the government introduced the requirement that district councillors must swear allegiance, and the district councilors who violated the "red line" behavior will be DQ and demanded for their salaries. As a result, a large number of district councillors were triggered to resign. In the end, 49 people were cancelled due to the invalid oath. qualifications.

Some district boards have only three or four kittens. For example, there are only two pro-democracy members left in the Wong Tai Sin District Council, and only three in the Central and Western District.

Is there a case after a district board member has taken the oath, or is there a case or an illegal arrogance to pursue salary by intimidation?
