PREVENTION OF BRIBERY BILL
***
*****
A bill giving effect to two of the recommendations in the Commission
of Inquiry's report was published in the gazette today for general information.
Under the bill, it will no longer be necessary for the Attorney
General to give a person an opportunity to make representations before
consenting to the institution of a prosecution against him for an offence
against section 10 of the Prevention of Bribery Ordinance.
The bill also introduces a new section into the ordinance which
empowers a magistrate, on application by the Director of the Anti-Corruption
Office, to issue a written notice requiring a person, who is the subject
of investigation under the Prevention of Bribery Ordinance, to surrender
his travel documents.
If the person does not surrender them immediately the notice is
served, he may be arrested and taken before a magistrate.
It is expected that all three readings of the bill will be taken
at the Legislative Council on Wednesday.
Release Time: 7.30 p.m.
