Chief Executive Carrie Lam announced the government restructuring plan last week. Zhang Zhigang, president of the One Country, Two Systems Research Center and member of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, who is known as "Liang Fan", later wrote an article criticizing Carrie Lam's move as "a joke", describing her as a "nanny" He even wanted to intervene in the team formation of the next chief executive, quoting a person who was "interested in running for election" and asked, "Why do you want to write a political platform with me?"
Tsang Yok-sing, former chairman of the Legislative Council and chairman of the Democratic Alliance for the Betterment of Hong Kong, said that Carrie Lam said that the reorganization was proposed to achieve social consensus, to complete the ordinance before June this year, and to "pave the way" for the next chief executive, "I think Mrs Lam is entirely out of a sense of responsibility and commitment, and she has a good heart." He mentioned that the former Chief Executive Leung Chun-ying planned to reorganize the government structure before taking office in 2012, but ultimately failed to reach a consensus among parliamentarians, and it was too late to complete the amendments before the start of his term.
When Leung Chun-ying was elected, the reorganization did not pass the legislature before taking office
Jasper Tsang said in an online program that Carrie Lam's proposal to restructure the government came at a sensitive period for the chief executive's "horse race". The speaker was unintentional, but the listener was interested. He did not name and criticized Zhang Zhigang for linking Lam's move with the election of the chief executive.
He said that he wanted to say something fair for Carrie Lam. "I think Mrs. Lam is entirely out of a sense of responsibility and commitment, and she has a good heart. Who knows that no one will appreciate it."
He mentioned that in 2012, when Leung Chun-ying ran for the Chief Executive's election, he proposed the reorganization plan of the "Five Divisions and Fourteen Bureaus", including the addition of the Deputy Financial Secretary and the Deputy Chief Secretary for Administration, and the addition of the Cultural Bureau and the Innovation, Technology and Information Bureau. After Leung Chun-ying was elected chief executive at the end of the month, the then government tried its best to cooperate with its plan, but ultimately failed to pass the amendments before the start of the term.
Tsang Yok-sing said that he failed to pass the amendments in time, not only because of the pro-democracy Raab, but also because the plan did not win the consensus of the legislators.
He pointed out that in order to expedite the deliberation of the government reorganization bill, the then Chief Secretary for Administration, Lam Sui-lun, moved to deal with the bill first and then deal with the bill, but it was not passed in the Legislative Council dominated by the pro-establishment faction. Casting a negative vote, guild member Ye Liu Shuyi also abstained from voting, reflecting the lack of consensus on the restructuring plan.
He also pointed out that he heard that Leung Chun-ying had already found candidates for the new director and deputy director at that time, but it fell through because the amendments were not passed.
