在特首選舉中，中央人民政府對所有候選人的操守必須保持主導，在乎他們是否愛國愛港，或會否因其進入權力機關而令香港變得不穩定、不繁榮；在這方面，中央有絕對權力。
In this Chief Executive Election the Central Peoples Government must have a say regarding the conduct of all candidates it matters greatly whether the candidates love the country and Hong Kong or whether Hong Kongs stability and prosperity will be affected after a candidate has entered the ruling regime . The Central Authorities absolutely have the power in this regard
我們有所為，有所不為，在議會內便要做有益、有建設性的事情，建立好榜樣，不要搞甚麼宣誓風波。
In the Council we should do useful and constructive things to set a good example but we should not engage in the so - called oath - taking controversy
主席，早晨。
Good morning President
就姚松炎議員提出的議案，我想就醫學界和市民對行政長官選舉的關注，談談我的一些看法。
On the motion moved by Dr YIU Chung - yim I would like to talk about my views on the concerns of the medical sector and the public about the Chief Executive election
醫生和多數市民一樣，均很希望將來落實行政長官普選時，可以有低門檻的提名機制，令盡量多的參選人可以入閘，讓市民有更多選擇。
Like the majority of the public doctors very much hope that when universal suffrage for the Chief Executive election is implemented in the future a low - threshold nomination mechanism can be put in place to allow as many candidates as possible to enter the race so as to give the public more choices
普選最珍貴之處是用一個公平、公正、公開的方式，讓市民"一人一票"選出行政長官。
Universal suffrage is precious in that it allows the public to elect the Chief Executive by one person one vote in an equitable fair and open manner
現在這個理想不知道何時才能達到，但無論是醫學界或廣大市民，都渴望任何選舉也可以公平、公正地進行。
Although it remains uncertain when this goal can be attained the medical sector and members of the general public strongly wish that all elections will be conducted in an equitable and fair manner
就是次選舉委員會選舉，我們醫生本着自由意志，不受外來干預，"一人一票"選出業界代表。
In the Election Committee Subsector ordinary elections we doctors elected our representatives by one person one vote according to our free will without any external interference
主席，行政長官選舉影響每一名香港市民，即使現在只由1,194名選舉委員會委員負責選出，民主派批評是小圈子選舉，但相信市民仍然希望選舉可以公平地進行，選委可以不受任何干預，自由 提名和投票。
President the Chief Executive election affects everyone in Hong Kong . Even though at present the Chief Executive will be elected by 1 194 members of the Election Committee EC and pro - democracy Members criticize the election as a coterie election I believe members of the public still hope that the election can be conducted equitably and EC members can nominate and vote without being interfered in any way
試問若現在連這一點也做不到，市民如何有信心將來會落實行政長官普選呢？
If such wishes cannot be fulfilled now how will the public have confidence that the election of the Chief Executive by universal suffrage will be implemented in the future?
以我個人經驗來說，在這段時間，沒有任何所謂代表中央的人員向我遊說，我沒有感受到任何壓力，而"民主300+"的任何會議，我也沒有獲邀參加。
In my case during this time no one purporting to represent the Central Authorities has lobbied me; I do not feel being pressurized in any way and I have not been invited to participate in any meetings of the Democrats 300
所以，我像其他市民一樣，有種"食花生"的感覺，但分別是我有一票。
Hence like other members of the public I have a feeling that I am watching on the sidelines; the only difference is that I have a vote
我和其他醫生頗為關注數方面：第一，數位參選人之前的履歷、過往的經驗；第二，他們在論壇的表現，我們把這形容為面試。
I and other doctors are concerned about the following aspects first the credentials and past experience of the candidates; and second their performances in election debates and forums which we regard as interviews . As I said before the election manifestos of the candidates only relate what will happen in the future
我曾經說過，他們的政綱只是說將來會發生的事，而按過去的經驗，大部分政綱承諾都無法落實，少於一半的承諾能夠落實。
According to past experience most of the promises made in election manifestos could not be fulfilled and only fewer than half were realized in the end
兩位前司長宣布參選後，消息滿天飛。
After the two former Secretaries of Departments announced their decisions to stand for election all kinds of information spread widely
這些消息均來自不願意透露名字的消息人士，所以無法證實。
As the information has come from a source not willing to be identified it cannot be ascertained
根據《基本法》，雖然中央對行政長官有實質任命權，但與此同時，選舉行政長官是香港自治範圍內的事，在未有"最終達至由一個有廣泛代表性的提名委員會按民主程序提名後普選產生的目標"前，選委有責任憑自己的良知和意願，選出他們認為合適的特首，其他部門不應以任何形式干預，以彰顯香港的"高度自治"。
Although the Central Authorities have substantive power to appoint the Chief Executive according to the Basic Law election of the Chief Executive is within the limits of the autonomy of Hong Kong . The Basic Law provides that [t]he ultimate aim is the selection of the Chief Executive by universal suffrage upon nomination by a broadly representative nominating committee in accordance with democratic procedures and before this aim is achieved EC members are responsible to choose according to their conscience and preferences a suitable candidate as the Chief Executive . No authorities should interfere in any way so as to undermine a high degree of autonomy in Hong Kong
不過，欽點某位特首候選人的傳聞停不了，相信會對選委和市民造成一定的困擾，有選委感受到壓力也不出奇。
However the hearsay that a certain candidate is preordained has not stopped and I believe some EC members and the public will to a certain extent be perplexed and it is not surprising that some EC members have felt the pressure
兩會期間，全國人民代表大會常務委員會委員長張德江參加人大香港代表團的會議，重申中央心目中的特首的4項條件，即愛國愛港、中央信任、有管治能力、港人擁護，早前盛傳他到深圳接見建制派選委，說某位候選人是中央唯一支持的人選。
At the annual sessions of the National Peoples Congress NPC and the Chinese Peoples Political Consultative Conference Mr ZHANG Dejiang Chairman of the Standing Committee of NPC participated in a meeting of the Deputies of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region to NPC and reiterated that the Central Authorities considered that the Chief Executive should have four criteria namely loving the country and Hong Kong being trusted by the Central Authorities having the ability to govern and being supported by Hong Kong people . It has been widely rumoured that Mr ZHANG went to Shenzhen earlier to meet pro - establishment EC members and told them that a certain candidate was the only candidate supported by the Central Authorities
中聯辦主任被問及有否為某位候選人拉票時，回應指那都是謠言。
When the Director of LOCPG was asked whether the Central Authorities had canvassed votes for a certain candidate he said that it was a rumour
再者，是次行政長官選舉，民主派的選委不再如過去般，推舉民主派候選人出來參選，大部分民主派選委提名擔任了約10年財政司司長的曾俊華先生，以及退休大法官胡國興先生。
Furthermore in this Chief Executive Election democratic EC members no longer nominate candidates from the democratic camp to stand for the election . Instead the majority of these members have nominated John TSANG who had been the Financial Secretary for about 10 years and retired judge Mr WOO Kwok - hing
他們希望和其他建制派選委一同認真地參與是次投票，推舉他們屬意的候選人，而不是 抗議和表態。
They wish they can seriously participate in this election with the pro - establishment EC members and nominate their preferred candidates instead of protesting and expressing their stances
中央其實應該歡迎民主派這種取態，樂觀其成，以促進香港社會的和諧。
In fact the Central Authorities should welcome the approach of the democrats which will help promote harmony in the society of Hong Kong
但是，如果欽點、干預、選舉不公的傳聞不絕，只會令人覺得中央連建制派佔大多數的1,194名選委也不信任，反而令市民對中央更不信任。
However if there are incessant rumours about preordination interference and the election being inequitable people will think that the Central Authorities do not even trust the 1 194 EC members the majority of whom are from the pro - establishment camp . This will further weaken peoples trust in the Central Authorities
在香港和中央互不信任下，實難以推展政改，解決管治問題，這對"一國兩制"並非好事。
If there is a lack of trust between Hong Kong and the Central Authorities it will really be difficult to pursue constitutional reform to resolve problems of governance . That will not be beneficial to upholding the principle of one country two systems
第二點，在現時特首選舉的制度下，即使將來制度有任何改變，但香港特區首長都同時是選任，也是委任的。
The second point is under the existing system of the Chief Executive election regardless of whether there is any change in the system in the future the head of the HKSAR is both elected and appointed
因此，中央在香港的特首選舉中必定擔當一個角色。
Therefore the Central Authorities do have a role to play in Hong Kongs Chief Executive election
反對派現時分成了兩批，選舉前和選舉後出現了變化。
The opposition camp is now divided into two factions and such a change took place before and after the nomination
在選舉前，他們表示誰支持《基本法》第二十三條立法和八三一決定便不會予以支持，但入閘後便即時隨意搬動龍門，改變立場。
Before the nomination members of the opposition camp said whoever supported the enactment of legislation for Article 23 of the Basic Law and the 31 August Decision would not receive their support . However after the candidates got nominated they arbitrarily moved the goalposts and changed their stance
現時連美國也不敢說中國的壞話，為何某些香港人卻不斷在指摘中央？
Today even the United States dares not badmouth China how come some Hong Kong people keep hurling criticisms at the Central Authorities?
其實，我們看到在某程度上是關乎利益的劃 分。
In fact we notice that this has something to do with sharing of interests in some ways
如果他認同這次選舉，即使只是心裏認同，將來他的政治力量便會減少，這是必然的現實，所以只能繼續反抗、繼續對抗，不斷製造一些議題和口號來扣人帽子。
If he endorses this election even if he keeps his endorsement in his heart his political power will be weakened in the future which is an inevitable fact . That is why he has to keep fighting and resisting as well as finding new issues and slogans to put labels on other people
甚麼是"離西環最遠，離香港人最近"？
What is the meaning of farthest away from Western District and closest to Hong Kong people?
我們眾多建制派議員和地區市民所選的，他便說是中央欽點，這是甚麼邏輯？
The candidate whom numerous pro - establishment Members and local residents support is alleged by him as preordained by the Central Authorities . What kind of logic is this?
干預選舉，先從香港做起。
Interference in the election starts right in Hong Kong
現時香港已有很多例子，事實擺在眼前，很多香港人本身都不遵守規則。
There are too many examples and evidence has proved that many Hong Kong people have not followed the rules
接着，我要討論一個邏輯，就是"距離西環最遠的"，中央不會欽點。
Next I would like to discuss the logic that a person farthest away from Western District will not be preordained by the Central Authorities
如果說干預選舉，上次立法會選舉不是圍標嗎？
Speaking of intervention in the election was the last Legislative Council Election not an act of bid - rigging?
主席，我謹此表明，我與香港經濟民生聯盟的同事都反對由姚松炎議員提出的原議案，以及由其他數位泛民議員提出的修正案。
President I hereby state that my colleagues of the Business and Professionals Alliance for Hong Kong BPA and I oppose the original motion moved by Dr YIU Chung - yim as well as the amendments proposed by several pan - democratic Members
經民聯非常贊同行政長官選舉必須在公正的情況下進行。
BPA fully supports that the Chief Executive Election must be conducted under fair conditions
事實上，廉潔一直以來是香港的核心價值，而廉潔及公正的選舉更是現代民主的基石。
As a matter of fact integrity has all along been a core value of Hong Kong and a clean and fair election is the foundation of contemporary democracy
任何人都應該遵守相關條例，以確保選舉是以公開、公平的方式進行。
We ought to abide by the relevant ordinances so as to ensure that the election will be conducted in an open and fair manner
可惜，數位泛民議員的修正案措辭一面倒針對中央政府，令人不能苟同；莫乃光議員和毛孟靜議員的修正案，更表示傳媒報道中央人民政府所屬部門"插手干預"和"強力影響"特首選舉，令人感到奇怪和費解。
Regrettably the wordings of the amendments proposed by the several pan - democratic Members are overly against the Central Government which cannot be endorsed; the amendments of Mr Charles Peter MOK and Ms Claudia MO even state that it has been reported that some departments of the Central Peoples Government have meddled in and vigorously influenced the Chief Executive Election . Such remarks are really strange and perplexing
從今屆特首選舉活動開始以來，無論傳媒或互聯網上，各種陰謀論四起，例如所謂"要求選委拍照證明投票決定"、"選票在特首選舉後會被運到內地驗指紋查票"，又盛傳有內地官員作出種種干預等。
Since the start of the election campaigns of the current Chief Executive Election conspiracy theories of all kinds have circulated widely in the media and on the Internet . For instance there are the hearsays that members of the Election Committee EC are asked to prove their voting decisions by taking photos and ballots will be sent to the Mainland for fingerprint examination after the Chief Executive Election; and it is also widely rumoured that Mainland officials have made all kinds of interference . Such hearsays may well be described as strangeness knows no bounds
這類傳聞可謂"沒有最離奇，只有更離奇"，並無實據，只是捕風捉影。
There is no substantial evidence but only groundless accusation
事實上，香港有一套完善的選舉法例，選舉管理委員會和選舉事務處均有適當的行政措施，確保各種選舉在公平公正的情況下進行。
In fact Hong Kong has a comprehensive electoral legislation . Both the Electoral Affairs Commission and the Registration and Electoral Office have appropriate administrative measures to ensure that various elections will be conducted under fair and equitable conditions
本港的區議會、立法會，以至特首選舉，無論是投票過程或在投票結束後選票的點算和處理，整個過程都高度透明，而且都有相關候選人、選舉代理人和選舉主任在現場監察。
For the election of the District Council the Legislative Council and even the Chief Executive of Hong Kong the whole polling process or the counting and handling of ballots after the close of poll is highly transparent and under the monitoring of relevant candidates election agents and Returning Officers at the scene
上述所謂"拍照論"、"查票論"本應不攻自破。
The so - called photo - taking and ballot - checking theories should not hold water
稍為對本港的選舉制度和程序有所認識的人，都不會貿貿然相信這些無中生有的說法。
Anyone who has some knowledge of our electoral system and procedure will not hastily believe in such pure fictitious saying
社會上有意見指，內地官員就特首選舉發表言論都屬於干預。
There are opinions in society that any Mainland officials speaking on the Chief Executive Election is a kind of interference
就我記憶所及，並無中央官員曾公開"欽點"任何一名候選人。
As I remember no official of the Central Authorities has ever openly preordained a certain candidate
除了各式各樣的傳言和所謂傳媒轉述之外，只有國務院港澳事務辦公室王光亞主任公開列出中央對下屆特首人選的4項標準，包括"愛國愛港、有管治能力、中央信任、港人擁護"，這番言論並沒有任何干預的成分。
Other than rumours of all kinds and the so - called media reports only WANG Guangya Director of the Hong Kong and Macao Affairs Office of the State Council had stated publicly the four criteria of the Central Authorities for the next Chief Executive which include loving the country and Hong Kong having the ability to govern being trusted by the Central Authorities and being supported by Hong Kong people . There is not an element of interference in this statement
事實上，任何人，無論是官員或普通市民，都有個人的言論自由，只要其言論不涉及誹謗和人身攻擊，他們對特首選舉的意見都應該受到尊重。
In fact anyone be he an official or a common person has his freedom of speech . So long as the speech involves no defamation or personal attack their views on the Chief Executive Election should be respected
主席，眾所周知，中央政府在這個課題上有其特定的憲制角色，《基本法》第四十五條訂明，"香港特別行政區行政長官在當地通過選舉或協商產生，由中央人民政府任命。
President as is known to all the Central Government has a designated constitutional role on this issue . Article 45 of the Basic Law provides that [t]he Chief Executive of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region shall be selected by election or through consultations held locally and be appointed by the Central Peoples Government
"憲制上已經保障中央政府對特首人選有實質任命權。
Constitutionally this has secured the substantive power of the Central Government to appoint the Chief Executive
原議案提到，要"促請中央人民政府所屬各部門不得干預行政長官選舉"，"或向選舉委員會委員施壓，使其作出非自願的投票決定"。
The original motion states that this Council also urges the various departments of the Central Peoples Government not to interfere in the Chief Executive Election nor to pressurize members of the Election Committee into making voting decisions against their own wills
這個說法不但是無的放矢，甚至是"賊喊捉賊"。
This allegation is not only unsubstantiated but even a case of a thief crying stop thief
眾所周知，從提名期一開始，由泛民選舉委員會委員組成的"民主300+"聯盟已經提出要協調提名票的分配，讓他們屬意的兩名候選人都可以入閘。
As we all know once the nomination period started the Democrats 300―a coalition formed by the EC members belonging to the pan - democratic camp―has already proposed to coordinate the allocation of nominations so that both candidates of their choice could enter the race to stand for election
最近他們更進一步表示98%會投票給其中一名候選人。
Recently they even further stated that 98 % of them will vote for a certain candidate
這種人為的配票或捆綁式投票，又是否屬於干預呢？
Is such allocation of votes or bundled voting a kind of interference?
至於這做法會否有違該聯盟選委的獨立自主，使他們"作出非自願的投票決定"？
Will such a practice run counter to the independence and autonomy of EC members of the coalition rendering them to make voting decisions against their own wills?
恐怕只有相關當事人才知道。
I am afraid only the persons concerned will have an answer
更有甚者，是候選人受到的攻擊和抹黑。
Worse still there are candidates suffering from attacks and smears
有候選人被傳是"欽點"，更有某位候選人被說成是中央用來分散泛民票源的臥底。
A candidate is being rumoured as the preordained one; and another candidate is even being depicted as a stool pigeon sent by the Central Authorities for diluting the pan - democratic source of votes
這些毫無根據的陰謀論才是影響特首選舉公正性的元兇。
These totally groundless conspiracy theories are the prime culprits affecting the fairness of the Chief Executive Election
代理主席，無論哪一個政治陣營的選委都應該根據客觀因素，包括每位候選人的歷練、往績、施政理念和政綱，作出慎重的政治決定。
Deputy President regardless of which political camp an EC member belongs to he should make a prudent political decision based on objective factors such as the experience past performance records governance principles and election manifesto of each candidate
無論選委最終決定支持哪一位候選人，都是在行使其政治權利，而現行制度和法例已對這項權利提供足夠的保障。
No matter which candidate an EC member decides to support ultimately he is exercising his political right and such a right is sufficiently secured under the current system and legislation
新一屆特首將於3月26日投票產生，我希望各界可以立即停止散播各種抹黑言論和不實傳聞，確保選舉能夠在公平和公正的情況下順利進行。
The new Chief Executive will be returned by election on 26 March . I hope all parties will immediately stop spreading smearing remarks and false hearsays so as to ensure the smooth conduct of the election under equitable and fair conditions
沒有人會喜歡一個甘心被當成傀儡的候選人當選，但市民在這次選舉中根本無權投票，所以，他們不會喜歡這位候選人。
Nobody likes to see a candidate who willingly becomes a puppet being elected but the fact is that members of the public do not have the right to vote in this election so they are not going to like this candidate
讓我先說無力感，就是我們不能夠"一人一票"選特首。
Let me first talk about the sense of powerlessness it means our inability to elect the Chief Executive by one person one vote
換言之，即使參選人的民望高達56%甚至超過六成，但從今次事件不難發現，他始終無法入閘，亦根本不會讓他入閘。
In other words even if the person seeking nomination has a popularity rating as high as 56 % or even over 60 % as evident from the present election he will not be able to run for the election and he simply will not be allowed to enter the race
星期一，有一位聽眾致電電台節目，表示他以前也不大明白，只知道有些人投票反對令香港人不能"一人一票"選特首。
On Monday an audience phoned in a radio programme . He said that in the past he did not quite understand what had happened all he knew was that some people voted down the proposal for Hong Kong people to elect the Chief Executive by one person one vote
不過，這次選舉過程卻令他看得一清二楚，終於完全明白。
However the ongoing election process has opened his eyes and he finally realized what has happened
在這次特首選舉中，連我們的立法會同事也無法入閘。
Members of the public are not fools . In this Chief Executive Election even our Honourable colleague failed to secure nominations to stand for the election
如果真的通過了八三一方案，現在便可以"一人一票"選"CY 2.0"或"CY 3.0"或"CY 4.0"，任君選擇。
If the 31 August constitutional reform package was really passed we should be able to choose from CY 2.0 or CY 3.0 or CY 4.0 by one person one vote
在12月11日選舉委員會的選舉中，"民主300+"的同事在不少界別皆全取所有席位，包括教育、高教、法律、社福、IT、醫護等，是前所未見的佳績。
In the Election Committee EC election held on 11 December colleagues of the Democrats 300 had swept all seats in a number of subsectors including education higher education legal social welfare IT health care etc the success achieved was unprecedented
即使有些界別遇到困難，例如中醫，但我們亦成功取得零的突破。
Although we had encountered some obstacles in certain subsectors such as Chinese medicine we still managed to get the first - ever seat
特點在於團結、團結和團結。
The key is unity solidarity and unanimity
中聯辦一開始便干預選舉委員會的選舉，而不是特首的選舉，但這當然並非甚麼新鮮事，無論是立法會選舉或其他選舉，他們的介入都非常深入。
LOCPG had intervened in the EC election but not the Chief Executive Election at the outset but this is certainly nothing new . Either the Legislative Council election or other elections there were in - depth interventions
到了提名階段，我們更明白必須策略性地 提名。
When it comes to nomination we are well aware of the importance to nominate strategically
我們已明言，提名和投票是可以分開的。
As we have stated nomination and voting can be separated
建制派在中聯辦的控制下，當然只能夠提名一些自稱"CY 2.0"的候選人，而我們為了增加競爭，便要保障民望最高的候選人可以入閘。
Under the control of LOCPG the pro - establishment camp can only nominate candidates who claim to be CY 2.0 so in order to increase competition we have to make sure that the candidate with the highest popularity can enter the race
我們做到了，我們已盡力策略性地反操控、反干預，希望為香港人留下一絲希望，就是選出一名香港人真正支持並不會繼續撕裂香港的特首。
We did it . We have done our best to strategically fight against manipulation and intervention hoping to offer a glimmer of hope for Hong Kong people that the candidate who is genuinely supported by Hong Kong people and will not continue to tear Hong Kong apart will be elected as the Chief Executive In less than 70 hours the election will be held
我們很慶幸在這次選舉中，我們民主派可以如此團結，但這團結是由下而上的，是凝聚共識和反抗干預而來的。
We are so glad that in this election the pan - democratic camp is so united . This bottom - up solidarity is built on the need to foster a consensus and resist interference
我們何時才會有一個真正能夠團結香港人的候選人？
When can we have a candidate who can genuinely unite Hong Kong people?
如果中央或建制派的同事真的找得到，請他們給予香港人一個機會自行選擇，因為他們已經沒有投票的機會。
If the Central Authorities or Members of the pro - establishment camp really comes across such a candidate please give Hong Kong people an opportunity to make their own choice as they are already deprived of the right to vote
即使沒有普選，但也請不要干預選委如何投票，而這正是現在距離選舉的時間無多，但我依然要向中聯辦表達的信息。
Even if there is no universal suffrage please do not interfere in EC members voting decision . Though there is no much time left before the election I still want to get this message across to LOCPG
香港人已很久沒有如此充滿希望，這麼想得到一件東西，這麼想修補撕裂，這麼想未來5年會有和諧，難道他們真的要令過半數的香港人失望？
It has been a long time since Hong Kong people are so full of hope so eager to get something so desperate to resolve dissension and so anxious for harmony in the next five years . Do they really want to disappoint more than half of the population of Hong Kong?
代理主席，我發言支持姚松炎議員的原議案，以及3位民主派議員的修正案。
Deputy President I speak in support of the original motion moved by Dr YIU Chung - yim and the amendments proposed by the three pro - democracy Members
我們關心的是特首選舉能否公正進行，但我們似乎看不到譚志源局長如何代表特區政府監察這次選舉，確保可以公正地進行。
Our concern is whether the Chief Executive Election will be conducted fairly but it seems to us that Secretary Raymond TAM has not monitored the process of the Election on behalf of the Government to ensure its fair conduct
根據《基本法》第二十二條，中央人民政府所屬各部門、各省、自治區、直轄市均不得干預香港特別行政區根據本法自行管理的事務。
According to Article 22 of the Basic Law no department of the Central Peoples Government and no province autonomous region or municipality directly under the Central Government may interfere in the affairs which the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region administers on its own in accordance with this Law
也許譚志源局長應該告訴我們，根據《基本法》第二十二條，香港行政長官選舉是否屬於香港自行管理的事務。
Perhaps Secretary Raymond TAM should tell us whether the Chief Executive Election is an affair which Hong Kong administers on its own according to Article 22 of the Basic Law
行政長官選舉由提名以至投票都在香港進行，而且清楚指定由1,200人組成的選舉委員會負責提名及投票。
As far as the Chief Executive Election is concerned the nomination and voting stages all take place in Hong Kong and it is clearly stipulated that the Election Committee composing of 1 200 members minus six shall be responsible for nominating candidates and electing the Chief Executive
我們當然理解這屬於香港自行管理的事務。
We certainly understand that the Chief Executive Election is an affair which Hong Kong administers on its own
蔣麗雲議員剛才說，中央很關心特首選舉，因為根據《基本法》第四十五條，香港特別行政區行政長官是在當地通過選舉或協商產生，選舉完畢後由中央人民政府任命。
Dr CHIANG Lai - wan has mentioned earlier that the Central Peoples Government is very concerned about the Chief Executive Election because according to Article 45 the Chief Executive of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region shall be selected by election or through consultations held locally and be appointed by the Central Peoples Government . The role of the Central Peoples Government is to appoint the Chief Executive designate after the Election
其實，大家都很清楚，因為在座有不少議員是選舉委員會委員，我們身邊都有不少朋友是選委，指中央介入的說法已經不斷在流傳。
In fact Members are very clear about what happened because some Members present here are members of the Election Committee EC . We also have some friends who are EC members and they have indicated that the suggestion that the Central Authorities are interfering in the Election have been spreading
譚志源局長是否被動地覺得無須調查？
Is Secretary Raymond TAM so passive that he considers that there is no need to inquire into the matter?
