The new government is about to be established, and the new governance team intends to present the "new style of governance" in the next five years with new layout and new personnel. The considerations behind it are worth understanding.
In addition, it is not unprecedented for the SAR government to undergo a structural reorganization. Whether it was the implementation of the accountability system by the government in 2002, the major reorganization of policy bureaus into "three divisions and eleven bureaus", or the current "three divisions and eleven bureaus" proposed by Carrie Lam and relayed by Li Jiachao. The third division, the third deputy director, and the fifteenth bureau” should all have the same purpose.
If workers want to do well, they must first sharpen their tools, and use a more favorable structure to help fulfill their commitments to the vision of Hong Kong and deal with all kinds of chronic ailments in society. It is the righteousness of the rulers. Therefore, the reorganization of the government should not surprise anyone.
With the approval of the Li Jiachao government's restructuring plan by the Executive Council last Tuesday (May 17), the new three divisions, three deputy directors, and fifteen bureaus are expected to replace the current three divisions and thirteen bureaus.
At that time, the three additional deputy secretaries will be assigned to coordinate specific policy areas or projects, thereby enhancing the efficiency of the SAR government; the Transport and Housing Bureau will also be officially split.
In a meeting with the media after the plan was approved by the guild, the incoming chief executive Li Jiachao said that the new government would be able to "more focus and deal with the two major issues of great concern to society, transportation logistics and housing."
However, how the new government will present its "new style of governance" can only be commented on the introduction of substantive policies. The structural reorganization plan of the SAR government can better understand the policy priorities of the next government than the layout design of the previous government.
Li Jiachao said the new government will be able to "more focus and deal with the two issues of great concern to society, transport logistics and housing."
