IT

THE TOTALLY UNFOUNDED FINALLY. I WANT TO SAY A FEW WORDS ABOUI

AS A

OF RESULT

THE TSUI THAT

HAS BEEN MAKING CHARGES

ALEX MR

HAVE QUESTIONING BY THE LEGCO PANEL, ENQUIRING INTO HIS DISMISSAL. WE

QUITE CLEAR ALREADY ISSUED A STATEMENT YESTERDAY, IN WHICH WE MADE

UNDER IMMUNITY THAT THESE ARE UNFOUNDED ALLEGATIONS MADE BY MR TSUI GIVEN TO HIM. NOW MR TSUI HAS IMMUNITY BUT UNFORTUNATELY, THE PEOPLE THAT HE HAS NAMED IN HIS CHARGES DO NOT HAVE IMMUNITY. SO WHO DO THEY WITHIN APPEAL TO? WE HAVE MADE CLEAR THAT THE ICAC OPERATES ENTIRELY

ARE NO POLITICAL THE

LIST. THERE LAW. THERE IS NO POLITICAL HIT

CLOSELY TARGETS. EVERY CASE OF CORRUPTION INVESTIGATED BY THE ICAC IS

ARE 12 MONITORED BY THE RELEVANT REVIEW COMMITTEE ON WHICH THERE

ALSO MEMBERS OF WHICH EIGHT ARE DRAWN ON FROM THE PRIVATE SECTORS.

MAKING SEEMS TO ME THAT THE VARIOUS ALLEGATIONS THAT MR TSUI HAS BEEN IN HIS FIRST DAY OF TESTIMONY BEFORE THE PANEL IS STRAYING QUITE A BIT AWAY FROM THE ORIGINAL PURPOSE OF THE HEARING. NOW, AS YOU ALL THE PURPOSE OF THE HEARING WAS TO ESTABLISH THE REASONS FOR MR

OF DISMISSAL. BUT, AS YOU CAN SEE, HE HAS BEEN MAKING QUITE A NUMBER

I VERY SERIOUS BUT TOTALLY UNFOUNDED AND UNSUBSTANTIATED ALLEGATIONS.

WILL HAVE HOPE THAT THE LEGCO PANEL THAT IS CONDUCTING THIS ENQUIRY REGARD TO THE NEED TO ENSURE THAT THE VERY GOOD WORK AND THE VERY GOOD 20 YEARS IS NOT REPUTATION THAT ICAC HAS BUILT UP IN THE LAST UNDERMINED IN ANY WAY. I AM SURE THAT THE PUBLIC WILL NOT WISH TO SEE JUNCTURE CONFIDENCE IN THE ICAC WHICH IS PARTICULARLY CRUCIAL AT THIS

ABOUT INCREASING CORRUPTION, WHEN THERE IS A GOOD DEAL OF CONCERN UNDERMINED IN ANY WAY.
