因為根據《基本法》第四十七條，行政長官就任時應向終審法院首席法官申報財產。
According to Article 47 of the Basic Law the Chief Executive on assuming office should declare his or her assets to the Chief Justice of the Court of Final Appeal
如果這樣也可以，我相信以後在超級市場的小偷便可以申辯說："沒有證據顯示你不准我拿走。
If that is acceptable I believe that in future a shoplifter caught in a supermarket will defend that there is no evidence to prove that the supermarket disallows him to take away the goods
" 代理主席，我剛才舉出很多例子，顯示律政司司長這次為人詬病的一些原因。
Deputy President just now I have cited a number of examples to illustrate some of the reasons why the Secretary for Justice is being cavilled at
當然，另一點就是司長這次再次僭建，說的不是她的房屋，而是僭建規則。
Another point is that the Secretary is constructing another unauthorized building works UBW now . The UBW I want to say is not her house; it is the UBW of the rules
剛才很多同事提到，她竟說就是否外聘獨立大律 師的法律意見，只有牽涉律政司的人員時才會這樣做，而很明顯，過去3年律政司最少有兩次回應立法會，交代有關聘請獨立大律師意見的一些準則。
Just now a number of Members mentioned her explanation of not seeking outside legal advice . That is DoJ will seek outside counsels advice only when a case involves staff of the department . But obviously over the past three years DoJ responded to the Legislative Council at least on two occasions about the criteria for seeking advice from outside counsels
這是很簡單的文字，我不知為何司長竟然不理解。
These are simple words but I do not understand why the Secretary does not take heed of them
然而，不止司長有錯，可笑的是，一群建制派同事也衝出來護短。
Nevertheless not only the Secretary made the mistake . The more ridiculous thing is that a bunch of pro - establishment Members stand up to shield her faults
究竟是指黎先生是黑社會、當中涉及黑社會或當中涉及"洗黑錢"呢？
Does it mean that Mr Jimmy LAI is a triad member the incident involves the triad or it involves money laundry?
為何你們會用"黑金"這字眼呢？
Why would you adopt the term black gold?
要予人一種偏頗的觀感，以及要有利益衝突。
Isnt it too ridiculous? . A conflict of interest is essential if we are going to give others an impression that someone is biased
第一，黎先生既不是政治人物，也不是公職人員，更不是政府要員；第二，我相信全香港即使是建制派的市民也知道，700多萬名市民也知道，黎先生是政府的眼中釘，政府不檢控他，不會有人認為是偏頗，這是不合理的。
First Mr Jimmy LAI is not a political figure . He is not a public official and he is not even an important government official . Second I believe Members of the public in Hong Kong including people from the pro - establishment camp and more than 7 million residents in Hong Kong know that Mr Jimmy LAI is a thorn in the eyes of the Government
如果你要說你們認為是，剛才也有同事提到佔中案很多人仍未伏法，首先，佔中案件已經有9位市民包括立法會的同事正在面對法律程序。
If you have to say that in your opinion a lot of people in the Occupy Central movement have not been brought to justice―just now some Members have also raised that question―first of all nine people in the Occupy Central movement including our colleagues in the Legislative Council are currently facing legal proceedings . Certainly you may argue that all the information should be disclosed . It is no big deal
代理主席，剛才亦有同事的發言很可笑，不論是謝偉銓議員或梁美芬議員，他們說過去要求有獨立法律意見的個案很少，寥寥可數，所以，不是每次也需要。
Deputy President just now some speeches delivered by my colleagues are rather ridiculous . Including Mr Tony TSE or Dr Priscilla LEUNG they all said that DoJ had rarely sought legal opinions from outside and they were few and far between . For that reason seeking legal opinions from outside was not a must on every occasion
"老兄"，他們又在"搬龍門"，偷換概念。
Hey buddy they were moving the goalposts and playing the trick of swapping concepts again
剛才也有同事說我們反覆提這事，只是為了追殺梁振英，從而得到一些政治利益。
Just now some colleagues have criticized us for bringing up the matter repeatedly because we are just trying to hunt down LEUNG Chun - ying with a view to obtaining certain political interests
梁議員，我發言支持郭榮鏗議員動議的傳召議案。
Mr LEUNG I rise to speak in support of the summoning motion moved by Mr Dennis KWOK
她提出了數項因素，我唯一同意的是，她真的無畏無懼。
She mentioned several qualities but I agree to only one of them and that is she is honestly fearless
雖然這些因素全皆包含於《守則》內，但她卻可以"臉不紅，耳不熱"地表示已根據《守則》行事，沒有受政治因素影響。
While all such requirements can be found in the Code she has nonetheless argued shamelessly that her action has already conformed to the Code and has not been influenced by any political factors
其中一項問題是："有意見認為律政司今次自行決定不檢控梁振英，係因為佢係國家領導之一、係全國政協副主席，又係前行政長官，所以認為律政司偏頗，你有幾贊成或者反對整個講法......
One of the questions asks There has been a saying that the Secretary for Justice decided not to prosecute CY Leung at her sole discretion because Leung is one of the national leaders the CPPCC Vice - Chairman and former Chief Executive and that she is biased
"有六成受訪市民贊成此說法。
How much do you support or oppose to the saying Sixty per cent of the respondents support this assertion
正因如此，整個社會皆批評她官官相護，因為梁振英過去是官員，今天是國家領導人之一，是官員，而鄭若驊也是官員，因此要維護梁振英。
Precisely for this reason the entire community has lashed out at her saying that her decision is tantamount to harbouring another official . They say so because LEUNG Chun - ying is a former government official and also a current Chinese state leader―a kind of official as well―and Teresa CHENG is likewise a government official so she must protect LEUNG Chun - ying
更重要的是，市民會認為，她今天之所以貴為律政司司長，是由國家領導人及中央政府任命的，如果檢控現時貴為國家領導人之一的前高官梁振英，便會影響她的任命及自身的政治利益。
More importantly people think that she gets her eminent position of Secretary for Justice today because Chinese state leaders and the Central Government made the appointment . The prosecution of LEUNG Chun - ying who is a former government official and also an eminent Chinese state leader at present will affect her appointment and her own political interests
曾投票給梁美芬議員的選民應明白，她這種保皇黨議員所說的話同樣只為維護建制和盲目保皇。
People who have voted for Dr Priscilla LEUNG should realize that she is a royalist so she utters those words just for the same and pure reason of defending the Establishment and blindly protecting the ruling authorities
是否偏袒，市民心中自有公論，亦是 非常客觀的。
People can tell with their own judgment whether favouritism is involved and this is also an objective fact
司長應反省為何我會在法律年度開啟典禮上在多位法官和法律界人士面前高舉標語追擊她，希望她停止"人治"。
The Secretary for Justice should ask herself why I went after her and held up banners against her in front of so many judges and legal practitioners at the Ceremonial Opening of the Legal Year in the hope that she could put an end to the rule of man
法律不應用作達到政治目的，不應用作達到政權想要達到的政治目的，不應用作保存官威，更不應用作維護自己。
The law should not be used as a means to achieving political purposes as a means to achieving the political purposes that the ruling regime desires as a means to maintaining ones official authority or even as a means to protecting oneself
代理主席，我發言支持郭榮鏗議員的議案，傳召律政司司長鄭若驊交代不檢控梁振英的決定，並出示相關文件、紀錄和證據。
Deputy President I speak in support of Mr Dennis KWOKs motion to summon the Secretary for Justice Ms Teresa CHENG to explain the decision not to prosecute LEUNG Chun - ying and to produce all relevant papers records and evidence
各位，就梁振英UGL案件，律政司並沒有尋求任何獨立大律師的意見，便作出不檢控的決定，令香港市民譁然。
Fellow colleagues the public are outraged at the Department of Justices non - prosecution decision with regard to LEUNG Chun - yings UGL case made without seeking legal advice from any independent barrister
過往涉及高級政府官員和具政治敏感性的案件，慣常做法都是先尋求獨立大律師的意見，剛才郭榮鏗議員已詳細列出多個事例。
It was a common practice to first seek advice from independent barristers when dealing with cases involving senior government officials or political sensitivity as seen in a good number of examples cited by Mr Dennis KWOK in detail just now
對於涉及重要政府人物，而公眾高度關注的案件，包括梁錦松偷步買車案、曾蔭權公職人員行為失當案、湯顯明以公帑提供款待案、林奮強賣樓案等，律政司均有尋求外間獨立的資深大律師意見。
When handling cases which involve important government officials and are a matter of public concern including the Antony LEUNG case of jumping gun in car purchase the Donald TSANG case of misconduct in public office the Timothy TONG case of hosting entertainment activities paid out of public funds the Franklin LAM case of flat sale and so on the Department of Justice DoJ has invariably sought independent advice from outside senior barristers
但是，律政司今次的做法有違往常一貫慣例，而且在UGL案長達4年的調查終結之後，律政司竟然只發出短短1,000字的聲明解釋不檢控的決定，令香港市民對法治的信心下降，甚至動搖。
Contrary to the usual practice this time DoJ only issued a brief 1 000 - word statement to explain its non - prosecution decision upon the conclusion of a four - year long investigation of the UGL case . This has lowered or even shaken Hong Kong peoples confidence in the rule of law
代理主席，市民不滿律政司的決定，是非常清晰的。
Deputy President people are clearly discontented with DoJs decision
民主黨委託香港大學民意研究計劃，在本月7日至11日電話訪問超過1,000名市民。
The Democratic Party has commissioned the Public Opinion Programme under the University of Hong Kong to conduct a telephone survey of more than 1 000 people from 7 to 11 this month
有六成受訪者"很贊成"和"贊成"律政司不檢控梁振英的決定是偏頗的；認為律政司"很應該"和"應該"交代該案的調查結果和法律理據的亦高達八成半；超過七成受訪者認為應外聘法律意見。
About 60 % of the interviewed very much agree or quite agree that DoJs decision not to prosecute LEUNG Chun - ying is biased . About 85 % of them consider it very necessary or quite necessary for DoJ to account for the investigation results and legal analysis of the case . More than 70 % consider it necessary to seek external legal opinion
最重要的是，有54%受訪者認為，律政司不檢控的決定，令他們對香港法治的信心產生負面影響，認為對法治信心沒有影響的只有37%。
Most importantly about 54 % of the interviewed believe the non - prosecution decision has negatively impacted their confidence in Hong Kongs rule of law while only 37 % say there is no such impact
剛才律政司司長鄭若驊回應時，引用《基本法》第六十三條，指律政司主管刑事檢控工作，不受任何干涉。
In her response made just now the Secretary for Justice Teresa CHENG quoted Article 63 of the Basic Law to say the Department of Justice shall control criminal prosecutions free from any interference
代理主席，我想指出，現在市民就是擔心和憂慮律政司可能受到干涉，才認為有需要透過傳召律政司司長，出示相關文件和證據，讓立法會和市民有機會看清楚真相。
Deputy President I have to say that people are now precisely worrying about DoJs possible vulnerability to interference and hence consider it necessary to summon SJ to produce all relevant papers and evidence so as to give the Legislative Council and the people a chance to find out the truth
香港大律師公會亦已發出聲明，認為"律政司於處理此事件中與......一貫廣為接納並受認同的慣例有所背離，不禁令人懷疑，是次事件中的決定是否不受任何政治考量所影響"。
The Hong Kong Bar Association has also issued a statement saying [t]he departure from the commendable and well - recognized convention raises justifiable doubts as to whether the decision in question was reached free from any bias or political considerations
但是，我們的律政司司長鄭若驊，反而指責追求真相的議員和市民，說我們干涉律政司，將事件和道理倒過來說。
However our the Secretary for Justice Teresa CHENG in a reversal of fact and logic criticized those truth - seeking Members and people accusing them of interfering with DoJ
此外，鄭若驊又表示，如果出示所有相關文件，會造成公審。
Teresa CHENG further said that the production of all relevant documents would lead to a trial by the mob
但現在就是因為政府交代不足，拒絕公開更多資料和理據，議會才會要求出示文件。
But now this Council asks for the production of documents precisely because the Government has refused to disclose more information and justifications while a detailed account of the case has been found wanting
鄭若驊的回應，令人覺得政府嘗試繼續掩飾真相，推卸責任，加深市民認為律政司偏頗的觀感。
The response made by Teresa CHENG suggests that the Government is trying to keep them in the dark and to shirk its responsibilities hence reinforcing the public belief that DoJ is biased
以後市民的印象，便是當案件涉及官員和高級官員時，涉事者是可以脫身，可以被"放生"，可以安然無恙。
In future people will have the impression that officials or senior officials who are involved in legal cases can escape prosecution get a pardon and stay safe
代理主席，市民亦擔心，不檢控梁振英的決定可能反映律政司在尋求外判法律意見方面，以至檢控政策均已出現改變，以維護一些擁有特權的人物，令原本已經脆弱的制度，進一步崩壞。
Deputy President people are also worried that the decision not to prosecute LEUNG Chun - ying may indicate changes in DoJs solicitation of legal advice from outside and in prosecution policy for the sake of protecting the privileged resulting in a further collapse of the already fragile regime
所以，我支持引用《基本法》第七十三條傳召律政司司長，透過公開案件的相關資料，讓議員和公眾討論和判斷，這是避免制度惡化的方法。
Therefore I support citing Article 73 of the Basic Law to summon the Secretary for Justice so as to let our Members and the public discuss and determine the case with the disclosed information concerned in a move to stop further deterioration of the system
這個不是公審，也不是干涉，而是嘗試利用現有制度制衡公職人員，阻止他們濫用權力、繼續腐敗下去。
This is neither a trial by the mob nor interference but an attempt to use the existing system to counterbalance public officers for inhibiting power abuse and corruption
代理主席，最後我想說的是，在現行檢控制度下，律政司手握刑事檢控權，而律政司司長同時也是行政會議成員。
Deputy President finally I would like to say that under the present prosecutorial system DoJ is entitled to criminal prosecutions while its head the Secretary for Justice is concurrently a member of the Executive Council
如果權力不受制衡，不論律政司是否作出檢控，其實有關決定也可用來滿足一些特定的政治目的，維護或狙擊某些政治團體和人物。
Without a balance of power DoJs decision to prosecute or otherwise can indeed be used to serve certain political ends either to protect or to attack some political groups or figures
所以，獨立的刑事檢控程序是法治的基石，十分重要。
Therefore independent criminal prosecution procedures are a cornerstone of the rule of law highly important to us
律政司司長既是政治任命官員，但同時要獨立地進行刑事檢控決定，有角色衝突的風險。
The Secretary for Justice is a political appointee who at the same time has to make criminal prosecutorial decisions independently and thus prone to role conflict
就UGL案不檢控梁振英的決定很明顯是個典型事例。
The decision not to prosecute LEUNG Chun - ying in the UGL case is obviously a typical example
在身份出現衝突的情況下，律政司司長不能夠中立地進行刑事檢控，結果會怎樣呢？
What will happen if the Secretary for Justice cannot carry out criminal prosecutions impartially in the face of a role conflict?
便是犧牲我們珍而重之的法治。
The rule of law that we treasure dearly will then be sacrificed
所以，我支持提出根據《基本法》第七十三條傳召律政司司長，便是要知道在這次關於UGL的案件中，有否出現角色或利益衝突。
Therefore I support summoning the Secretary for Justice under Article 73 of the Basic Law in order to find out if there is any conflict of role or interests in the UGL case in question
所以，長遠而言，為糾正這問題，應該將刑事檢控權交由完全獨立的刑事檢控專員負責，而不是由律政司司長主導的律政司負責。
In order to correct the problem the responsibility of carrying out criminal prosecutions should hence be rested with a fully independent Director of Public Prosecutions in the long run rather than DoJ which is steered by the Secretary for Justice
而挽回香港市民對法治的信心十分重要。
It is indeed important to restore Hong Kong peoples confidence in the rule of law
所以，我支持郭榮鏗議員的議案，傳召律政司司長交代不檢控梁振英的決定。
Therefore I support Mr Dennis KWOKs motion to summon the Secretary for Justice to account for the decision not to prosecute LEUNG Chun - ying
主席，剛才聽罷梁美芬議員及李慧琼議員的一番高見，我覺得只能夠用"用心良苦"一詞，來形容她們剛才為鄭司長保駕護航的一番苦心。
President having just listened to the insightful remarks of Dr Priscilla LEUNG and Ms Starry LEE I feel only able to use the word well - intentioned to describe their sincere eagerness to defend Secretary CHENG just now
容許我簡單回應兩位議員及鄭司長的一番論調。
Allow me to respond briefly to the arguments made by the two Members and Secretary CHENG
先回應鄭司長，她說根據《基本法》第六十三條，律政司有獨立檢控權，我們不應該破壞這種獨立性。
I respond to Secretary CHENGs first . She said that the Department of Justice DoJ has independent prosecution powers under Article 63 of the Basic Law and we should not undermine this independence
司長亦引述了一宗2006年的案件，並引述了判詞中的一段說話。
The Secretary also cited a case in 2006 and quoted a passage from the judgment
我先指出，相關案件牽涉到破產管理署尋求法庭指示的個案，而當中究竟與今次是否有直接關係呢？值得商榷。
I would like to first point out that as the said case involved the Official Receivers Office seeking directions from the Court it is debatable whether or not there is any direct relationship with the current case
不過，退1萬步說，法庭的判決，我們當然會接受。
However in any case of course we accept the Courts decisions
律政司的檢控權固然獨立，亦不應該受到任何形式的干擾，但我想問，如果要求官員來立法會交代便等於施壓，立法會是否每天都不應該向特區政府的官員施壓呢？
Surely DoJs prosecution powers should be independent and free from any form of interference but I wish to ask if requesting public officers to give an explanation to the Legislative Council is tantamount to exertion of pressure should the Legislative Council refrain from putting pressure on the officials of the SAR Government every day?
我們是否不應該要求任何問責官員我是指律政司司長作為問責官員的一分子不應該前來立法會？
Should we not ask any accountable official such as the Secretary for Justice to come to this Council because it is tantamount to exertion of pressure?
因為這樣等於施壓，這個邏輯是否站得住腳呢？
Does this logic make sense?
這是顯然易見的。
The answer is in plain sight
其次，司長亦都提及，刑事調查及檢控，將相關的決定披露，這樣會令相關人士受到公審，對他們不公平。
Moreover the Secretary has mentioned that disclosure of the decisions related to criminal investigations and prosecutions would unfairly put the persons concerned on trial by public opinion
如果這是事實，我們便應嚴正聲討前任律政司司長梁愛詩，我們亦要聲討黃仁龍及袁國強，因為在他們任內相關的案件其實剛才有同事已經詳細列出都有將非常詳細、不檢控的決定向公眾交代。
Had this been true we should have solemnly denounced the former Secretaries for Justice Ms Elsie LEUNG Mr WONG Yan - lung and Mr Rimsky YUEN because they did during their terms of office explain to the public in great detail the decisions of non - prosecution in some cases which our Honourable colleagues have in fact enumerated earlier on
如果這樣是正確，即如果司長的說話成立，是有道理，即是我們對梁錦松非常不公道，因為我們公審他。
Had this been correct that is if the Secretarys remarks had been valid and justified we would have been very unfair to Mr Antony LEUNG because we had put him on trial by public opinion
我們對其他人，包括湯顯明，亦非常不公道，因為我們公審他。
Likewise we would have been very unfair to others including Mr Timothy TONG because we had put them on trial by public opinion
如果是這樣，我們必須嚴正地將前數任律政司司長叫出來鞭撻一番，因為他們是絕對錯誤的很明顯，這個當然是錯誤的論調。
If so we should solemnly summon the last several Secretaries for Justice and castigate them because they were abjectly wrong . Most obviously and certainly this is a false argument
此外，司長亦提及，尋求外間的獨立意見並非慣常做法。
In addition the Secretary mentioned that seeking outside independent advice is not the usual practice
當然是，因為只有牽涉到敏感案件，我們才期望律政司花納稅人付出的公帑，尋求外間的獨立法律意見。
Of course it is not because only when sensitive cases are involved do we expect DoJ to spend the public money from the pockets of taxpayers to seek outside independent legal advice
現在的問題是，究竟我們現有政策是甚麼？
The question now is what is our current policy?
究竟現任司長有否改變以往的做法？
Has the incumbent Secretary changed the past practice?
一個客觀的事實，就是自回歸以來，只要牽涉到敏感人士的案件，還要特別提到，全部都是與公職有關，全部都是公職人員，牽涉到這些高級公職人員的案件，我們都會尋求外間的獨立法律意見。
As an objective fact ever since the reunification outside independent legal advice has been sought for any case involving a politically sensitive individual particularly a high - rank public officer
這做法已經變成一個約定俗成的慣例。
This practice has become a convention
而現在我們看到，司長正在改變這個慣例，改變這種做法，改變政策本身不是一個問題。
Now we see that the Secretary is changing this convention and practice
但是，改變 政策而欠缺交代，這才是問題。
A change in policy is not a problem per se but a change in policy without any explanation is the problem
如果司長認為，以往的做法，全部都是錯誤；以往的做法，一概都是浪費公帑，而從今開始，只要鄭若驊一日在職，我們都不會做這些事情，那麼，沒問題，作交代便可以。
If the Secretary holds that the past practice was all wrong and wasteful of public money and that from now on as long as Teresa CHENG remains in office we will not do such things then there should not be any problem provided that an explanation is given
只要鄭司長一句說清楚，我們最少得個"知"字。
As long as Secretary CHENG makes things clear we will at least be informed
主席，現在我們不希望看到的，就是司長躲在剛才這些所謂的"理由、理據"背後，而不作詳細交代。
President what we do not want to see now is that the Secretary gives no detailed account of the decision hiding behind these so - called reasons and justifications put forward just now
我們希望看到的，是律政司坦白、公開，將檢控政策中，特別是牽涉到外判大律師的做法，清楚交代。
What we hope to see is that DoJ honestly openly and clearly explains the prosecution policy particularly the practices involving counsels on fiat
只要我們有一個標準，有一個可預期、可預測的情況，最低限度我們也有一個"估"字。
As long as we have a yardstick to offer predictability we can at least do guesswork
至於剛才梁美芬議員"開口埋口"說黎智英，"開口埋口"說黑金，似乎有些事情，梁美芬議員不是無知，便是嘗試欺騙公眾一個客觀的事實，就是她口中的黎智英，既不是任何公職人員，更不是任何特區政府掌握權力的人，所以，這是一個嚴重牽強的類比。
As for Dr Priscilla LEUNG who kept harping on about Jimmy LAI and corrupt political donations it seems that she was either ignorant about something or trying to deceive the public about the objective fact that Jimmy LAI is not a public officer let alone any person holding powers in the SAR Government and thus her description was an extremely far - fetched analogy
同一時間，她所說的所謂"黑金"，牽涉到前任或現任某些同事。
At the same time the corrupt political donations that she talked about involved some of her former or current colleagues
我想清楚向梁美芬議員指出，立法會在上一個會期已經作出調查，而這個調查委員會中，也有建制派議員在席的。
I would like to clearly point out to Dr Priscilla LEUNG that the Legislative Council already conducted an investigation in the last session and there were also pro - establishment camp Members in the commission of inquiry
我相信，梁議員一定清楚，亦都記得這些事實，只不過她沒有說出來。
I believe Dr LEUNG must fully know and remember these facts but she just has not put them in words
更何況，當中牽涉到前議員梁國雄的案件，已經經過法庭審判，亦得到公平的裁決，梁國雄亦已經獲判無罪。
And that is without mentioning that the case involving former Member LEUNG Kwok - hung has been tried by the Court and he has been acquitted in a fair judgment
不過，我無意在此猜度，我只希望指出事實，以正視聽。
However I do not intend to make a guess here . I just want to point out the facts in order to set the record straight
主席，說了這麼久，其實現在不是要求律政司突然改變決定，去控告任何人。
President having spoken for so long actually I am not asking the Secretary for Justice to suddenly change her decision and prosecute anyone
今天的議案本身只希望要求她來交代清楚，究竟要求交代有甚麼問題呢？
Todays motion itself only asks her for a clear explanation . What is the problem with asking for an explanation?
如果要求律政司司長作為問責官員前來立法會交代清楚，就等於施壓，便顯得我們對問責官員太沒有信心。
If calling the Secretary for Justice as an accountable official to give a clear explanation in the Legislative Council was tantamount to exertion of pressure our accountable officials would seem to have too little confidence
我們現在是否說他們脆弱不堪，來交代一下也軟弱無力呢？
Are we saying now that they are too vulnerable and feeble to give an explanation?
我認為不是，我覺得司長一定堅硬如這塊木頭，一定有能力出來交代清楚。
I do not think so . I think the Secretary must be as hardy as this block of wood . She must be able to come out and give a clear explanation
所以，我認為建制派議員不用枉作小人，就讓司長來立法會作詳細交代。
Therefore in my view the pro - establishment Members should refrain from offering unappreciated help and let the Secretary come to the Legislative Council to give a detailed explanation
因為這樣才對得起鄭若驊司長所擁有的資深大律師的頭銜。
Only by doing so can Secretary Teresa CHENG live up to her title of Senior Counsel
主席，剛才議員同事詳細交代過往所有牽涉交由外判律師處理的案件，雖然已經有詳細交代，但我亦必須在此，在紀錄上再清楚說出，無論是牽涉梁錦松，牽涉林奮強、湯顯明或王見秋，以上種種，都是公眾希望看到，特區政府運用公權力，清楚公平地展示出最後究竟檢控還是不檢控的決定？
President although Honourable colleagues have earlier explained in detail all the past cases involving counsels on fiat I still have to make it clear on the record that all the aforesaid cases no matter involving Mr Antony LEUNG Mr Franklin LAM Mr Timothy TONG or Mr Michael WONG reflect the publics aspiration that the SAR Government exercises its public powers to clearly and fairly disclose the final decision to prosecute or not
我覺得最後檢控與否，本身不是一個最重要的問題，如何達致這個決定才是真正重要的問題。
I believe whether or not prosecution is the final decision is not the most significant issue per se and what really matters is how the decision has been made
剛才陳淑莊議員也說過，為何只有兩頁的解釋會是一個問題呢？
Earlier on Ms Tanya CHAN also pointed out why having only two pages of explanation is a problem?
那就是因為相比以往的情況，我們看到有非常大的改變，而如果最後，律政司能夠提供到一個17頁、20頁、30頁的答案，去解釋今次不檢控的原因，而這些理據能夠說服公眾，則我相信任何合理的香港人都只能夠，儘管心中未必願意接受，但最少限度也尊重律政司最後所作的決定。
That is because we have seen a very big change compared with the past and if the Secretary for Justice can ultimately provide a 17 - page 20 - page or 30 - page reply explaining the reasons for this non - prosecution decision and these justifications can convince the public then I believe that any reasonable Hongkonger can only at least respect the final decision made by the Secretary for Justice even though not necessarily willing to accept it
所以，主席，道理已經擺在眼前，道理已經說完，我現在不希望律政司再次搬龍門，不能夠說服公眾，而去到最後，影響及受害的並非律政司司長本人的民望這麼簡單，而是整個系統及我們辛苦建立的一套法治精神，以及令人信服的制度。
Therefore President now that the reasons have been fully explained in front of everyone I do not want the Secretary for Justice to move the goalposts again . If she cannot convince the public what will be ultimately affected and undermined is not simply the Secretary for Justices own popularity rating but the whole system and the spirit of the rule of law which we have worked very hard to foster as well as a compelling institution
所以，我希望建制派議員今天不用再為律政司司長護航，因為這樣是"愛她反而變成害她"。
Therefore I hope that the pro - establishment camp Members no longer need to defend the Secretary for Justice today because this act will backfire on her
如果大家真的如此緊張我們的法治精神及法律系統，便應該支持郭榮鏗議員今天的議案。
If we are really so concerned about our spirit of the rule of law and our legal system we should support todays motion moved by Mr Dennis KWOK
