Section 7:
Swearing Allegiance
(Note: Unlike HKBL, where Art. 104 forms part of Section 6:
Public Servants, draft MBL 103 & 104 constitute on their own a new section.)
principal officials, members of ExCo and LegCo, President of CFA and
Procurator-General must
swear to uphold the MBL, to serve and swear allegiance to
the MSAR
the PRC.
104
CE,
principal officials, ExCo and Legco members and judges must swear allegiance to the HKSARG of the PRC.
The emphasis on allegiance to PRC in draft MBL may be intended to
overcome

the
problem of dual nationality of

officials
who
might possess
Portuguese
passports (although
the
PRC does not recognise dual nationality).
