政府搞精英化、盛事化，但不太能做到普及化，在體育上創造的就業職位不足。
The Government puts emphasis on elite athletes and promoting Hong Kong as a venue for major international sports events but it seems unable to promote sports in the community and fails to create sufficient sports - related job opportunities
很多精英運動員只能做運動員，相關的體育產業未能跟上，所以投入體育訓練的人亦不足夠。
Many elite athletes can only be an athlete . The associated sports industry is not well developed to match with the needs of our athletes . As a result there are not enough people who participate in sports training
因此，我們很希望政府能夠成立文化及體育局。
Hence we hope that the Government can establish a Culture and Sports Bureau
其實早在2012年，上任行政長官曾經嘗試做過，但被反對派"拉布"阻撓而做不到。
In fact the previous Chief Executive tried to do this in 2012 . Regrettably the proposal fell through because of filibusters by the opposition Members
我希望今屆政府或未來的特首能夠做好這方面的工作，成立文化及體育局，讓香港能夠好好出發，政府做到強化政府角色，主動介入，進取有為，訂立指標......
I hope the current - term Government or the future Chief Executive can do a better job in this regard and establish a Culture and Sports Bureau so that Hong Kong can have a good start and the Government can strengthen its governance role and take active intervention and proactive actions to lay down a target
主席，革新公務員系統、改革主要官員問責制是一個老大難的問題，絕對不是容易的事。
President innovating the civil service system and reforming the accountability system for principal officials is a major tough and long - standing issue which is definitely no easy feat to tackle
不過，我認同《大學》第四講所說，"欲齊其家者，先修其身"。
However I agree with the fourth section of The Great Learning which says Wishing to regulate their families they first cultivated their persons
目前來說，我們的公務員架構逐年遞增，人手方面每每要公務員事務局開設職位、設置新欄目，因為社會亦在進步當中，需要人才來協調和執行政策，在所難免，但久而久之又變成制度的臃腫，令我們開設一個新職位時沒有"一個入，一個出"。
At present our civil service establishment is expanding year by year . As for staffing the Civil Service Bureau often needs to create posts and add new job postings because as society is also progressing there is inevitably a need for talents to coordinate and execute policies . However over time the system has become so bloated that the creation of a new post does not bring about the elimination of an old one
雖然社會人口增多了、工種增多了，但總有一些部門需要精簡。
Despite increases in population and job variety in society there are always some departments that need to be streamlined
當我們設置一個新的部門應付新社會形態的需要時，必須作此考慮。
This must be taken into account when we create a new department to cope with the needs of the new social model
所以，"修身"很重要。
Therefore it is very important to cultivate our persons
市民對我們有一種銳利的眼光、有批判性的眼光，檢視我們每天的工作表現。
With a sharp and critical eye on us the public examines our daily work performance
普遍而言，在公務員的行列中，差不多都在等時間到。
Generally speaking almost all civil servants are waiting for the time to come
論功行賞固然好，但"不做不錯"自然會"上位"，也是一種慣常的"潛台規"。
While it is constructive to reward achievement it is also a common tacit rule that he who does nothing makes no mistakes and will be moved up the ranks
我們要把後者洗革；你沒有任何的功，就不能夠有獎，亦不能夠有賞。
We need to get rid of the latter . Those who have achieved nothing should not receive any awards or rewards
剛才蔣麗芸議員說的制度是不錯的，稱為"薪效掛鈎制度"。
The system that Dr CHIANG Lai - wan described earlier is a good one called a performance - related pay system
有大膽思維、解放自己思想、多勞多得，這是一件好事，起碼可以抗衡那種"不做不錯"、"最重要遭解僱的不是我"的心態。
It is a good thing to think boldly emancipate our mind and earn more for more work . This can at least counteract the mentality of he who does nothing makes no mistakes and it is only important not to be the one who got fired
我認為"正心"便是要專心把事情做好，不要等運氣到，無論是公務員或問責官員都要同心。
In my opinion to rectify our hearts means to concentrate on getting the job done and not to wait for luck to come our way . Both civil servants and accountability officials should work as one
第二，要"修身"，獎、賞、罰、刑必須清楚。
Secondly in order to cultivate our persons there should be clear criteria for awards rewards punishments and penalties
若不稍為減磅......五一得五，五八中四十，我說那部分起碼有9,000人。
If we do not downsize a little bit Five by one makes five; five by eight makes forty
九千人是很大的數目，但沒有問題，就着最近宣誓的事宜，誰在"阿支阿左"，左搖右擺，不宣誓擁護《基本法》，效忠香港特別行政區，無須多想，立即解僱。
I would say there are at least 9 000 such people which is a lot but that is not a problem . Anyone who keeps nagging and wobbling on the recent issue of oath - taking and refuses to swear to uphold the Basic Law and swear allegiance to the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region should be dismissed right away without further thought
在這兩點下一番工夫，應該會有成效。
By focusing our effort on these two points we should be able to achieve results
主席，我支持這項議案，但亦要深思熟慮、大膽地付諸實行。
President I support this motion but it should be carefully thought over and boldly put into action
我在此就謝偉銓議員提出的問題作簡單回應。
Let me give a brief reply to the questions raised by Mr Tony TSE
其實，謝議員所提的問題，於我們在財務委員會審議有關文件的討論當中亦有提及。
In fact his questions have also been mentioned in our documents submitted to the Finance Committee FC and the related discussions
謝議員所提及的財務安排，不是採用工務工程項目的注資形式，而是以資本投資基金撥款予郵政署營運基金，這確實是政府整體上的財務安排。
The financial arrangement Mr TSE mentioned is not in the form of funding for public works projects but a commitment injected from the Capital Investment Fund to the Post Office Trading Fund
因為在政府部門中，有一些部門是以營運基金的形式運作，希望它既是一個政府部門，又可以按照接近商業的模式營運，以增加其效率。
This is truly a financial arrangement for the Government as a whole . It is because some government departments operate as trading funds in the hope that they can keep the status of a government department while operating in a way close to that of the commercial ones thereby enhancing their efficiency
我們秉承這種既有的方式，絕不會如謝議員所擔心般會減少議員對這個項目或部門的監察。
This has been an established practice so we adhere to it and it will not undermine the monitoring by Members of the project or the department concerned as what Mr TSE is worried about
我亦感謝謝議員認同我們在財委會審批的過程中，有向包括謝議員在內的議員詳細解釋整個項目的運作，並回答了很多問題。
I also thank Mr TSE for recognizing our efforts during the scrutiny by FC such as giving a detailed explanation to Members including Mr TSE on the operation of the whole project and answering many enquiries
總括而言，這個財政上的安排可讓郵政署及早開展重建計劃，透過採用先進的設計，配備智能科技和最新的機械升級處理能力，使空郵中心將來的運作更具效率，並充分回應電子商貿行業的蓬勃發展對香港跨境郵遞服務所能夠產生的需求和商機，亦令香港能為建設粵港澳大灣區成為國家郵遞暨物流樞紐作出貢獻。
In conclusion such financial arrangement will facilitate Hongkong Posts early use of advanced design . With expanded processing capacity equipped with intelligent technologies and up - to - date machineries the future AMC will operate with enhanced efficiency in response to the demand and business opportunities generated by the booming e - commerce industry for cross - border and cross - boundary postal services . It will also facilitate Hong Kongs integration into the Guangdong - Hong Kong - Macao Greater Bay Area thereby contributing to the development of the Greater Bay Area into a tourism and logistics hub of the country
因此，主席，我感謝大家對這項決議案的支持，以及早前提出的很多意見。
President I thank Members for supporting this resolution and providing many opinions earlier on
我懇請各位議員通過這項決議案，讓香港郵政可以立刻開展其重建工作。
I implore Members to support the passage of the resolution so that Hongkong Post can commence the redevelopment work immediately
主席、各位議員，我首先感謝姚思榮議員提出議案，以及易志明議員提出修正案。
President Members first of all my thanks go to Mr YIU Si - wing for proposing the motion and also to Mr Frankie YICK for proposing an amendment
受2019冠狀病毒病疫情影響，香港整體經濟以至各行各業都受到非常大但不同程度的衝擊。
Due to the Coronavirus Disease 2019 outbreak the Hong Kong economy as a whole and various trades and industries have been affected considerably but to a varying degree
政府十分明白、了解和體恤這種情況，亦在過往1年多以來不斷提出很多不同的解決方法，並借助這個議會與大家一同商量。
The Government very much understands appreciates and sympathizes with this situation
主席，李慧琼議員剛才在開場白中說出兩大重點：第一是團隊的理念，第二是如何培育政治人才。
President Ms Starry LEE has just made two key points in her opening speech first the philosophy of a team and second how to nurture political talents
我想首先談談團隊的理念。
I would like to start with the philosophy of a team
全世界所有政府，無論是西方世界或我們的國家，都是由政黨帶領的。
All governments around the world no matter in the Western world or in our own country are led by political parties . In the Western world political parties alternate in power
西方世界政黨輪替，無論哪個政黨上場，都是由自己政黨的班底當所有的問責官員，但特區政府的所有問責官員，正如李慧琼議員剛才所說，來自五湖四海，甚至籌組班子時很多人互不認識，不知道對方有甚麼背景或做過甚麼，那麼如何可以有一個真正的團隊？
No matter which party comes into power all positions of accountability are taken up by the partys own members . In contrast as Ms Starry LEE said earlier all accountability officials of the SAR Government come from a wide variety of backgrounds and many of them did not even know each other when the team was formed nor had any knowledge of each others background or track record so how can there be a real team?
為何要有政黨政治或全世界政府都是由政黨帶領呢？
Why is it necessary to have party politics or for all governments around the world to be led by political parties? . Firstly people who come together to form a political party must share the same philosophy
我們組政黨的，大家一起加入政黨，第一，理念一定相同；第二，大家共同在 政黨內打滾那麼久，互相認識，知道對方的背景和強項，執政時便分工，有人負責經濟、有人負責民生，已有足夠默契，或知道對方的工作方法，這樣才能推動工作。
Secondly having worked together in the party for so long they know each other and understand each others background and strengths . So when they are in power they can divide the work between them with some responsible for the economy and others for peoples livelihood . With sufficient tacit understanding among them or knowledge of each others working methods they are in a good position to take work forward
主席，第二是培育政治人才。
President the second point is about nurturing political talents
直到現時為止那麼多屆，真的可以逐級升遷的，基本上只有3人。
So far throughout so many terms of office only three people have managed to move up through the ranks
第一位是唐英年，由局長升至財政司司長和政務司司長，當然他還想選特首，但落敗了。
The first is Henry TANG Ying - yen who was promoted from Director of Bureau to Financial Secretary and to Chief Secretary for Administration . Of course he also wished to be elected Chief Executive but failed
第二位是現屆的徐英偉局長，由政治助理升至副局長，再到局長。
The second is Secretary Caspar TSUI Ying - wai of the current term who was promoted from Political Assistant to Deputy Director of Bureau and then to Director of Bureau
因為民建聯現時有2位成員擔任局長、1位擔任副局長、3位當政治助理，更據聞將有1位加入局長的政策局填補副局長的空缺，即現屆政府未來可能有7位問責官員來自民建聯，所以他們現正進行大量培訓工作、探討很多相關課題，我相信下一屆可能會有更多來自民建聯的人才當政治問責官員，我們拭目以待。
It is because currently two members of DAB are Directors of Bureaux one is a Deputy Director of Bureau and three are Political Assistants and it is even rumoured that one member would join the Secretarys Bureau to fill the vacancy of Under Secretary which means that the current Government might have seven accountability officials from DAB in the future . That is why they are now doing a lot of training activities and exploring many relevant issues . I believe that more talents from DAB may become politically accountable officials in the next term so let us wait and see
主席，我發言支持李慧琼議員提出的"改革主要官員問責制"的議案。
President I rise to speak in support of Ms Starry LEEs motion on Reforming the accountability system for principal officials
李議員所提出的"改革"二字，可能未必有太多人理解其真正意思。
Perhaps not many people can understand the true meaning of the word reforming used by Ms LEE
改革是由上而下的，而外面的人所說的"革命"，則是由下而上的，目的都是想政府作出改變，因為現行制度有問題。
Reform proceeds in a top - down direction whereas the revolution advocated by those people outside takes a bottom - up direction . Their purpose is to urge the Government to introduce changes as the existing system is problem - ridden
第一，是檢討。
The first task is to conduct a review
請問特區政府會否考慮每年或每兩年作恆常調整，對政府內部的運作進行微調呢？
Will the SAR Government consider a regular adjustment at annual or biennial intervals for the purpose of fine - tuning the internal operation of the Government?
因此，梁議員剛才建議局長選擇與其合拍的常任秘書長，並非沒有原因。
Therefore Mr LEUNGs earlier proposal that the Secretary should be allowed to select a Permanent Secretary who could work with him is not groundless
當然，他可能比較直接，而用人的問題亦不止關乎常任秘書長，還可能涉及其他技術官員例如副秘書長等。
Of course he might sound a little bit point - blank and this personnel issue may also involve other technocrats such as the Deputy Secretary besides the Permanent Secretary alone
當然，還有其他原因，這並非絕對的原因。
Of course there are other reasons but this is not an absolute reason
然而，須知道一個政府的效率高低，除了問責官員，公務員團隊也非常重要。
However one must know that the efficiency of the Government hinges not only on its principal officials but also on the civil service
有個別問責官員被人攻擊至體無完膚，甚至有人將施政的種種弊端完全歸咎於問責官員。
Certain individual accountability officials have been attacked black and blue and some people have even ascribed all policy blunders to accountability officials
事實上，問責制確實存在結構性問題，今天香港的政治全面回到正軌，我同意現在是適當時間作出改革。
As a matter of fact the accountability system is indeed plagued by structural problems . Now that Hong Kongs political development has fully gotten back on track I agree that it is now an opportune moment to introduce reforms
對於問責制，我認為要公道說句，問責制由誕生的第一天開始便成為反對派追擊的對象，行政主導根本名存實亡，政府變成"熱廚房"，問責官員只有"捱打"，根本難以做到具體成績。
Speaking of the accountability system I think it is fair to say that it has been an easy target for criticism among opposition Members ever since the first day of its birth . The executive - led principle has merely existed in name only and the Government has turned into a hot kitchen where accountability officials are virtually defenceless against all sorts of attack and can hardly attain any concrete achievements at all
在這種有辱無榮的環境下，越來越少人願意當問責官員。
In this environment with the prevalence of only humiliation without any appreciation fewer and fewer people are willing to become accountability officials
所以，問責制是有問題，但把所有施政問題歸咎於問責制亦不公道。
So while I admit that there are problems with the accountability system it is also unfair to attribute all governance problems to the accountability system
有人說道，問責官員沒有高瞻遠矚的魄力，不能解決深層次矛盾，不能達到問責制的目的。
Some argue that accountability officials lack the enterprise in making visionary planning while also failing to resolve our deep - seated conflicts and achieve the objective of the accountability system
當年參與推動問責制的劉兆佳教授曾指出，問責制的原意是要讓特首組建志同道合的領導班子，同時建構一個管治聯盟，由建制派、愛國的專家、學者、意見領袖及社會各界組成，從中挑選問責官員。
Prof LAU Siu - kai who participated in taking forward the accountability system back then once pointed out that the original intent of the accountability system was to enable the Chief Executive to build a governance team comprising like - minded individuals and form a ruling coalition consisting of pro - establishment figures patriotic experts academics and opinion leaders and also various social sectors and the Chief Executive might select any of them as accountability officials
他們抱持基本的共同理念，施政可以有連貫性，官員制訂政策時亦可以高瞻遠矚。
He added that as they shared basic common convictions they could achieve policy coherence and the officials so selected could be visionary in formulating policies
不過，最終不但管治聯盟做不成，反而每屆政府完結皆會變成官員大換班，施政自然難以有連貫性，官員亦不敢推出長遠政策，自然不能解決深層次矛盾。
But besides the failure to form any such ruling coalition the conclusion of each term of government is instead often followed by a major changeover to the officials so it is naturally difficult to achieve policy coherence . Furthermore as officials do not dare to roll out long - term policies it is understandably impossible to resolve our deep - seated conflicts
不過，香港今天終於可以由"愛國者治港"，希望可以逐步落實管治聯盟的概念，從而落實問責制的精髓，亦鼓勵有志者加入政府工作。
But now that we can see the administration of Hong Kong by patriots at long last I hope the concept of a ruling coalition can be actualized gradually so as to achieve the essence of the accountability system and encourage those with aspirations to join the Government
問責制的另一個問題，是問責局長雖然是有關部門的首長，但竟然不會涉及公務員仕途的有關事宜，例如聘任、晉升及紀律事宜。
Another problem with the accountability system is that while an accountability Bureau Director is the head of a relevant Policy Bureau he nonetheless will not get involved in the personnel and career arrangements of civil servants such as employment promotion and disciplinary matters
根據現行制度，常任秘書長雖然要向問責局長負責，但公務員和問責官員沒有從屬關係，而《公務員守則》亦訂明兩者是夥伴精神的合作關係。
Under the existing system a Permanent Secretary is answerable to a corresponding accountability Bureau Director but there is no subordinate relationship between civil servants and accountability officials . And the Civil Service Code also stipulates that the relationship between the two is one of cooperation based on partnership
公務員只向公務員上司負責，問責局長不可過問公務員的仕途。
Civil servants are only accountable to their superiors in the civil service system and an accountability Bureau Director is not involved in the personnel and career arrangements of civil servants
這種制度其實相當古怪，在實施問責制前，局長對公務員有全面管理權，但現時的問責局長卻變成名副其實的無兵司令。
This system is actually quite awkward in the sense that before the implementation of the accountability system a Bureau Director had full management authority over the civil servants under him whereas Bureau Directors under the existing accountability system have literally become commanders without any soldiers
事實上，公務員制度的好處是穩定，壞處是傾向保守，而問責制可以為政府引入新思維，如果兩者能夠完美融合，政府施政便可以做到穩健又求創新。
In fact a merit of the civil service system is stability but a shortcoming is that it is prone to conservatism . In contrast the accountability system may bring new ideas into the Government . If the two systems can integrate with each other perfectly the Government may achieve stability and innovation in implementing policies
然而，現時這種夥伴精神的合作關係，要靠局長與公務員搞好關係才能成事。
But this existing cooperative relationship based on partnership must depend on good rapport between Bureau Directors and civil servants in order to be successful
從管理的角度而言，這種特殊制度容易把大家推向對立面，引發問責官員和公務員的衝突，這些事以前皆曾發生，日後亦會發生。
From the management perspective this exceptional system is prone to developing antagonism from both sides towards each other and triggering conflicts between accountability officials and civil servants . There were already such problems in the past and they may occur in the days to come
我想這種權力分割的做法絕對不利於管治，政府應研究如何處理。
In my view such segregation of power is absolutely not conducive to governance and the Government should explore ways to deal with it
最後，我想談談政治助理的問題。
Finally I wish to talk about Political Assistants
很多人認為政治助理同樣是問責官員，但沒有甚麼實際作用。
Many people consider that Political Assistants are also among accountability officials but of little practical use
當年增設政治助理一職，目的是要為局長提供政治意見及評估，工作性質應該類似政治公關，是一個很重 要的職位。
The posts of Political Assistant were created back then for the purpose of providing Bureau Directors with political advice and evaluation . Their job nature should be more or less the same as that of political public relations personnel and it should be a very important post
不過，不知何故，過去不少政治助理由"政治素人"擔任，變成用首長級的工資訓練政治新人。
But somewhat inexplicably many Political Assistant posts were filled by political newbies in the past and this is tantamount to paying political newcomers a directorate - grade salary for the mere sake of training them
可能大家被"政治助理"的名稱誤導，結果等於放棄政治公關的工作，難怪過去政府與反對派駁火時，在爭取輿論及推銷政策時無還手之力，反映出政府亦不重視政治公關。
Perhaps we have been misled by the title Political Assistant . So it looks like the Government has discarded the work of political public relations in the end . No wonder the Government was totally defenceless when it exchanged gunfire with the opposition camp during its lobbying for public opinion support and policy promotion
所以，政府可考慮把政治助理易名，避免誤解，並邀請經驗豐富的政治、公關或傳媒人才擔任，做好政治分析、評估民意趨向、提出推銷政策方針，以及打通政界人脈關係等工作，以發揮應有作用。
This shows that the Government attaches no importance to political public relations . For these reasons the Government may consider the idea of renaming Political Assistant as a means to avoid misunderstanding and inviting political public relations or media talents with substantial experience to fill this post so as to fulfil its due functions of conducting proper political analyses evaluating public opinion trends putting forth a direction for policy promotion networking in the political sector and so on
主席，首先感謝李慧琼議員今天提出"改革主要官員問責制"的議員議案，我個人非常贊同，並認為是合時的，因為畢竟問責制在2002年開始，至今已接近20年的時間。
President first of all I would like to thank Ms Starry LEE for moving the motion on Reforming the accountability system for principal officials today which I totally agree to and I think is also timely because after all the accountability system has been implemented for nearly 20 years since 2002
我已從政多年，曾與很多司局長級的官員、副局長和政治助理多次在政策議題上交手，留意到在主要官員問責制方面，無論在政策制訂或落實推行上，真的仍有可以改善的地方。
I have been in the political field for many years and have also dealt with Secretaries of Departments Directors of Bureaux Under Secretaries and Political Assistants many times at work in respect of the policy issues . I notice that the accountability system for principal officials really still has room for improvement no matter in policy formulation or implementation
主席，其實實施主要官員問責制，目的是為了可以吸納社會各界的管治人才，更多有才華的人加入政府，加強主要官員對政策範疇的承擔，更好地協調政策的制訂，提升政府施政效能，加強行政與立法機關的合作，而很重要的是，更好地回應社會的訴求，即是說制訂政策及執行時可以更貼地，"急市民所急"。
President in fact the implementation of the accountability system for principal officials aims to attract more talented people with governance expertise from various sectors of society to join the Government enhance the accountability of principal officials in their respective policy portfolios step up coordination in policy formulation enhance the efficiency in governance of the Government strengthen cooperation between the executive authorities and the legislature and more importantly respond to the aspirations of the community in a better way . In other words the formulation and implementation of the policies can be more down - to - earth in addressing the pressing needs of the public
主席，我剛才也聽到很多同事說了不少現時執行問責制上的不足地方，我想特別討論數點。
President I just heard many colleagues mention not a few deficiencies in the current implementation of the accountability system and I particularly want to highlight a few points
第一，是關於缺乏團隊合作精神。
Firstly it is the lack of team spirit
我個人明白問責官員來自很多不同專業和界別，有些是來自政務官體系出身，有些是來自外面的專業界別，有些可能是來自教育界、醫療環保等，有些則來自政黨。
I personally understand that principal officials come from many different professions and sectors . While some are from the regime of Administrative Officers some are from the professional sectors outside the Government such as the education sector the medical sector the environment protection field and some are from political parties
但是，在高官問責制方面，我認為其中一項很重要的是團隊合作。
However in the accountability system for principal officials I think one of the very important elements is teamwork
在過去一段時間裏，這個團隊的合作其實不太好，以反修例事件初期來說，我在這議事廳裏曾經說過，當時看到的畫面很多時是特首、保安局，加上數名主要負責紀律部隊的官員來解畫和拆彈，但其他官員的 參與程度十分低。
During the past period of time its teamwork has been less than satisfactory indeed . At the early stage of the opposition to the proposed legislative amendments I did mention in this Chamber that the scene which we often saw was the explanation and elucidation given by the Chief Executive the Security Bureau and a few officials mainly representing the disciplinary forces with very limited involvement of other officials
前方正在打仗，但後方不團結、不齊心，這當然不理想。
When some officials were fighting a battle on the front line but their comrades were not united or working together in the rear this surely was undesirable
但是，公道地說，正如局長剛才提到，"黑暴"事件後至今是有所改善的，特別在疫情下，其實也看到團隊合作已改善，但這方面仍有很多地方可以改善。
Nevertheless I have to be fair to them . As just mentioned by the Secretary the situation has been better since the black - clad violence incidents . Especially under the pandemic we actually have observed that their teamwork has improved though there is still much room for improvement
第二，是未清楚確立問責官員和公務員系統的領導地位。
Secondly the supervisory position of principal officials in the civil service system has not been clearly established
我個人也曾向前任局長了解，局長與公務員系統的磨合其實並非如想象中般好，原因是問責團隊在職級架構上，對公務員包括身邊的常任秘書長、副秘書長及下一級的政務官，沒有釐定一個很清楚的領導關係。
I have asked some former Secretaries and learnt that Directors of Bureaux do not integrate into the civil service system as well as we have imagined . It is because the accountability teams supervisory relationship with the civil servants working for them including Permanent Secretaries Deputy Secretaries and the subordinate Administrative Officers is not clearly defined
這亦體現在公務員晉升選拔委員會這個平台的參與方面。
This is also reflected in the participation of the platform of promotion boards for civil servants
據我理解，這個晉升選拔委員會的成員主要來自資深政務官，主席是由公務員事務局局長或該局常任秘書長出任，但問責局長在當中的角色好像只有被諮詢。
As I understand a promotion board mainly consists of veteran Administrative Officers as members with the Secretary for the Civil Service or the Permanent Secretary of that Bureau as Chairman but the accountable Directors of Bureaux only play the role of being consulted
我與一些局長討論時，他們告訴我："不要只跟我說，屬下的公務員不肯做，我們也沒有辦法。
During the discussion with some Directors of Bureaux they told me Do not only tell us about this . When our subordinate civil servants are not willing to take action there is nothing we can do
