Previously, detection and investigation ofco汀uption was the responsibility of the Anti-Corruption Office of the RoyaJ Hong Kong Police Force. Following the publication of the report of a Commission of Inquiry held by Sir Alastair BLAIR­KERR into corruption in Hong Kong and other related matters, His Excellency the Govemor announced at 出e opening session of the Legislative Counci l on 17 October 1973 出at responsi bility for the detection and investiga1ion of corruption would be transferred to an independent orgarusatlOn.

CONSTITUTION The Commission derives its existing charter from the Independent Commission Against Corruption Ordinance. The independence of the Commission is estab!ished by the Commissioner being formaJly and directly responsible to 出e

Govemor. In carrying ou1 its work the Commission functions as an independent organ of the public service.

ADVISORY COMMITTEES Every aspect of the work of the rCAC comes under the scrutiny of independent cornmittees comprising responsible citizens drawn from aJl sectors of 出e

community and appointed by the Govemor.

The Advisory Committee Oll Corruptioll reviews the overall policy of the Cornmission. lLs Chairman is a former member of both Executive and 1元gislative Councils. Should any aspect of the ICAC's organisation or operation cause concem to the Committee, its te口ns of reference 陀quire it to draw such problems to the attention of the Govemor. The work of aJ l three departments and the Administration Branch comes under its scrutiny. The Committee met once

The Committee may recommend that the details of an investiga1ion which was not prosecuted on legaJ advice or in which prosecution failed but which revealed indications of maJprac討ce on the part of a Crown servant, be passed to the head of department or the Secretary for the Civil Service for ∞nsideI訕。n of disciplinary or administrative actlOn. 明1e Committee met on eight occasion

during 1991 and advised on 140 reports covering 263 investigations which had not resulted in prosecutions. The Sub­Committee , which cons iders less complicated investigation reports, also met on eight occasions, two days prior to the main Committee meeting. The Sub­Cornmittee considered 1,073 reports of minor investigations and brief reports of 679 aJlegations impracticable to pursue.

Chapter 11 Commissioner's Review

I as…d office as Commissioner州on 1 December 1991 on the retirement

of my predecessor, Mr David Jeaffreson. It is fitting 出at 1 should, in my opening words, pay tribute to his leadership for the past three years. David Jeaffreson was and is held in high regard by those who work in the Commission and it came as no surprise to me to find that the organisation which J took over was highJy professional, efficient and e仔ective.

Of partjcular significance in the co叮se ofthe y問r past was the requirement that the expenditure of the Commission be reduced. This requirement is reflected in what are currently draft estimates for 1992/93 by a reduction of 3.1% for that financia1 year ag也nst the actual revised figures for 1991/92. Those savings will be achieved by way of intemal reallocation of resources and implementation of more cost-effective means of promoting public education.

1 remain confident that these cuts will not impact significant1y on the effectiveness of the Commission in the fulfilment of its statutory functions and 1 have, in fact, called for a further in-depth intemal review in order 出at we might ascertain whether further cuts are achievable without impairrnent of performance.

It has quickly become evident to me just how much the Comrnission depends on the tru鈍, confidence and goodwill of the community. That such exists and in very high measure is reflected in many ways : the willingness with which busy and highly respected leaders of the community accept invitations to take on yet more and participate in our advisory committees; the large numbers of those who participate in our educational functions which in tum are designed and implemented with the voluntary (and sometimes fmancial) assistance of community groups; and in the provision of reports of activities which are perceived by those reporting as being appropriately the subject of investigation by the Commission.

No fewer than 3480 such repo的 were

made to the Commission in the course of

9

1991 and whi1st not all of them were corruption reports the number of reports which were capable of classification as pursuable co汀uption reports (1759) was the highest recorded in the Commission's history. To a large extent 出at figure reflects the fact 出at members of the public- in a display of confidence in the Commission- are increasingly willing to identify themselves and assist to 出eextent possible in the pursuit of those engaging in co汀up1 activities. The number of pursuable reports received also led to the Operations Department having a case load of 的o at the end of the year.

ln terrns of statistical trends the co叮uption reports received relating to the Police showed a decrease of 6% from 475 in 1990 to 446 in 1991. Those relating to civil servants in other Govemment departments fell by 18%, from 650 in 1990 10 532 in 1991. Reports involving 出eprivate sector increased by 13%, from 1207 in 1990 to 1369 in 1991. However, these figures include the 224 reports of election offences 凹 的91 under the Corrupt and I1legal Practices Ordinance compared to only 11 in 1990. Overall, private sector reports accounted for 57% of aIl reports received by the Cornmission.

Although 1 have been with the Comrnission for such a short time, it is clear to me that the substan世al achievements of the Commission in 出e past ye缸, and indeed since its estabJishment,訂eattributable to a unique blend of co­operation and assistance from those in the community who have provided assistance m 出emωmer briefly described above and plain old-fashioned industry, loyalty and application by the men and women who work in the Commission. To all of them my thanks.

1 look forward to a successful1992.

ALLEGA TIONS OF C RIME AGAINST ICAC OFFICERS An enquiry in itiated in 1989 into an alleged leakage of con.fidential infonnation by ICAC officers was concluded in 199 1. The allegation was unsubstantiated.

Two investigations into suspected breaches of confidentiality which commenced in 1990 were also completed in 1991. In the first, no evidence was adduced to support the aUegation. The second investigation led to two ICAC officers being dismissed.

Investigations into two allegations of deception and theft against ICAC offi臼rs

recorded in the 1990 Annual Report, were concluded in 1991. In 0悶, enquiries revealed that an allowance had been c1aimed by mist此e and 出e error had been rectified by a supervising officer. The officers concerned were advised of 趴en記d for strict adhαm臼 to Cornrnission Standing Orders. In the other case,由ecornplaint was withdrawn but the officer concemed received advice from a senior officer.

During 1 9叭, six complaints of breaches of confidentiality against ICAC officers were received and dealt with. None of them were substantiated. Six aUegations of crime were made against ICAC officers during the year. Three of them were investigated by the Police. In one no impropriety was discovered, in another an ICAC officer was acquitted on a charge of gambling in an illegal gambling establishment and in the third a cornpl也nt of assault was not substantiated, but the ICAC officer concerned was reprimanded for failing to report his

involvement in the caseω the Cornrnissioner. Of the three compl也nts dealt with by the ICAC one revealed that the allegation was un汀ue and malicious and the other were still under investigation at year end.

I恥1PERSONATING ICAC OFFICERS Twenty-nine cases of irnpersonating ICAC officers were reported in 1991. At the end ofthe y開r, investigations into nineteen of the ∞mpl也nts had been completed, six were waiting to be tabled before 出eOperations Review Committee and four were ongoing. Of the∞mple惚d enqu崗位,

three were found to be misunderstandings between ICAC 0伍cers and complainants, two concerned other genuine rnistakes and in fourteen cas自由eo叮enders could not be identified.

M iscellaneous Legal advice is awaited conceming a case in which a man was arrested on suspicion of making twenty-seven anonymous f剖se

and malicious co汀uption complaints to ICAC against named individuals.

DISCIPLINARY OR ADMINISTRATIVE ACTION AGAINST CROWN SERVANTS On the recommendation of the Opera討onsReview Comrnittee reports on alleged misconduct by 98 Crown servants were forwarded to the Secretary for the Civil Service and heads of departments in 199 1. Cases involving 24 of these officers had been resolved by the end of 出e ye缸, resulting in disciplinary action being taken in respect of 14 officers. Cases involving 170 officers outstanding from the end of 1990 were 叫so∞mple悅d

during 199 1, resulting in disciplinary action being taken in respect of 106 officers.

ACCOUNTANCYSUPPORT The Panel of Accountants for Fraud Investigation have again given valuable assistance during 1991. Their ex戶口ise

Chapter V Corruption Prevention Department

T hemwheCormplion prevenlion Department, as prescribed by

Sections 12(d), (e) , and (f) of the Independent Commission Against Corruption Ordinance, is to examine Govemment departments and public bodies to identify opportunities for corruption and advise how to reduce 出em. A private organisation or person may also seek advice on the e limination of corrupt practices.

STRUCfURE AND EST ABLISHMENT The Department is headed by a Director, Wl出 two Assistant Directors each in charge of a Division of three Assignment Groups. Each of these Groups consists of a Group Head with four or five Assignment Offi臼rs. [n addition , there is an Advisory Services Group which advises the private sector. Administrative and clerical suppo口 is provided by a Management Group. Al the end of 1991 , the strength of伽 Department stood at 58 against an establishment of 59.

REVIEW OF WORK The work of the Department consists of studies of new subject areas known as “assignments", the review or “monitoring" of previously completed assignments and giving co汀uption prevention advice through consultation. The Department also participates in a wide variety of comminees and working groups. Some assignments and consultation work of particular interest during 1991 are described in the fo l1owing paragraphs.

ASSIGNMENTS lmmigration Department Computerised Tra_伊c lndex System The study reviewed the Immigration Department's monitoring of passenger movements to identify overstayers. The repo口 made a number of recommendations to reduce the possibility of unauthorised removal or alteration of movement records; these included tighter control over data collection and computer enqui巾s and more supervisory checks. The study also concluded that the system

19

could be streamlined to provide faster information on overstayers.

Education Departmellt Publishers' DOllations to Schools This assignment followed an Operations Department case and public criticism that some schools accepted donations from publishers in retum for adopting their textbooks. The study recommended that the Education Departmem should establish formal textbook selection procedures for schools. Model guidelines to prohibit gifts or donations likely to give rise to confl ict of interests for schools' staff were also recommended.

TransportDepartment Review of Driving Test Procedures A comprehensive examination of the driving test system was carried out, including the monitoring of driving tuition standards. Because of the system' s vulnerability to corruption, substantial recommendations were made to improve 出e quality of supervision, to reduce test waiting times and to monitor p的s rates. Other recommendations included modifications to test marking and an enhanced complaints handling system.

Review of Procedures of the Buildings Ordillance Office (BOO) The first in a series of BOO studies covered the building development stage. Recommendations were made to improve the system of plans' approvaJ, the granting of consent to commence building works and the issue of occupation permits. Suggestions for long-term consideration, invoJving self-regulation by the building industry and quality assuran白, were made to the Building Authority.

Kowloon Canton Railway Corporation Proper,砂 Development J oint Venture Agreements This study , conducted at 出erequest of the Kowloon Canton Railway Corporation (KCRC), examined KCRC's selection of consultants and partners to develop KCRC land for residential and commercial use, the drawing up of the

Page 22: Hong Kong ICACthe recornmendations made. The Terms of Reference and Membership of the Committee are at Appendix 3. A Sub-Committee advises on work priorities, reviews progress and

joint venture agreements and KCRC's control of the development, inc luding accounting for the 叫自 income. Attention focussed on the lists of pOlenlial joint venture partners, the time available for developers lo submit proposals, the procedure for receiving proposaJs, negotiation of the terms of the finaJ agreements after the tender stage and the control of development expenditure. Recommendations included a standard form of agreement to enable developers to make their financial proposals at an early stage.

Department 01 Health Procuremellt alld Issue 01 Drugs The Departrnent uses about 1,000 drugs for which the annual expenditure is over $60 million. Two assignmenls on this area were conducted; the first examined the procurement of dru軒, a complex subject involving considerab1e professionaJ judgement and discretion and the second studied the prescription and issue of drugs, with emphasis on the contro1s exercised. Recommendations made included modifying restrictions against 10cal manufacturers , compiling a list of established supp1iers and products obtainable from them, fo lJowing up compJ的nts and reports of adverse patient reactions, estab1ishing a c1ear policy on the use of drugs outside the master formulary , and contro1 of prescription forms to enab1e the source of irregularities to be traced.

CONSULTATION ACTIVITIES Urball Services Department Hawker Surveys and Registration The p1anned redeve10pment of Shamshuipo m訂ket requires that all hawkers there be surveyed , registered and screened in order to relocate them into new market complexes or to on-s汀eet sites. The Urban Services Departrnent sought the advice of the Corruption Prevention Departrnent on resiting strategies and improvement in the s叮veyand 陀gistr刻ion

procedures. CPD assisted in p1anning the surveys

20

by advising on methodo10gy, documentation and 10gistical arrangements. The first two surveys were observed by officers of CPD and their co lJective observation were uscd to offer further advice on supervision, timing, policy and effectiveness of the survey methods.

Transport Department Privatisation Transport Department sought CPD's views on a number of areas where Government operations, or those previously franchised , were to be “叭vatised" by competitive tender. These included the aJJocation of bus routes, p付vatisation of 出e operation of road tunnels and of the management of a Government-constructed vehicle testing centre.

Review 01 Electoral Provisions Following the 1991 public e1ections, CPD was represented on a Worki ng Group formed by the Govemment Secretariat to review the legislative provisions and other constitutiona1 issues which affect e1ections. CPD's major concem was that the election laws should be clearly understlα滔 by the candidates and el駝的問肥,that they should not unnecessarily inhibit the eJection process and that they shou1d be enforceable.

Port and Airport Development The Department advised on the procedures adopted in the award of Port and Airport Deve10pment Scheme relat叫∞nsultanc悶,

which involve accelerated programme and 1ar阱-value projects. Suggestions made dealt with assessment pane1 procedures, evaluation of information , judgement criteria, marking systems and fee negotiations.

Advicew倒也o given to the Provisional A坪。口 Authority on such matters as se1ection of consultants, purchasing and tendering , and personne1 administration. Liaison with the Authority continues.

Conveyancing 01 Home Ownership and Private Sector Participation Scheme Flats The Department was consu1ted about procedures to appoint solicitors to

undertake conveyancing work to sell Home Ownership Scheme and Private Sector Participation Scheme Oats. A working group with representatives from the Registrar General's Department, Housing Department and Corruption Prevention Department was formed. Criteria for appointment were s訓,

methods to consider applications agreed, and a balloting system in甘oduced to enable as many firms as possible to share the work. A representative from CPD attended early balloting exercises.

Hospital Authority The Authority, which took over the management of剖l

public hospitals on 1 December 19叭, drew up its own Financ ial and Accounting Regulations, Stores Regulations and Procurement and Supplies Instructions, and requested the Corruption Prevention Departrnent to comment on the drafts to ensure 出at su旺Ïcient preventive safe­guards were built into the systems. Advice was given accordingly and inc。中orated into the regulations.

EXTERNAL TRAINING The Department prov ides training for Govemment staff and public servants in co汀uption p時vention related subjects, such as de legation, supervision and, for junior sta旺, how to respond if offered bribes. During 199 1, 41 seminars were conducted for 1,423 participants.

ADVISORY SERVICES The Advisory Services Group provides a confidential and free intemal audit servlce on r悶的st to pnvate sector organisations to prevent co汀uption and fraud . During the year, 205 enquiries were received (as againsl184 in 1990) and assistance was given to 193 organisations (154 in 1990). The cl ients included industrial, commercial, welfare and educational organi組討0肘, with manufacturing and trading forming the largest categories. The advice given to these organisations typically dealt with purchasing, inventory control, cash collection, sales and accounting controls.

Chapter VI Community Relations Department

ROLE TMom州Relations Department

is responsible for educating the public ag也nst the evi ls of corruption and for fostering support for lhc Commission as laid down in Section 12(g) and (h) of the lndependent Commission Against Corruption Ordinance.

STRUCTURE & ESTABLlSHMENT The Departrnenl is headed by a Director and operates 出rough two divisions. Division 1 uses specialist uruts to promote public aw訂eness of anti-corruption work 血rough the mass media and educalional institutions. Division 2 makes persona1 contacts with the public to convey the anti-corruption message. The division operates eight ICAC Regional Offices and forrnerly operated three sub-offices to provide preventive education services to the local community and a1so to serve as centres for receiving complaints and enquiries about co訂uption. The three sub-offices were c losed down early this year as part of a cost-saving exercise of 出e Department. Al the end of the ye缸,the Departrnent had an establishment of 247, of wruch 2 12 posts were filled.

MAJ OR AREAS OF WORK The Department conducted an intensive education programme at the communily with emphasis on selected sectors. To enhance the impact and effectiveness of its work, the Department adopted in 1991 a new scheme whereby work is planned and executed under a number of target programme areas.

Commercial and lndustrial Sectors These sectors were given emphasis in view of the fact 出al private sector co汀uption reports took up ha1f of all reports in recent years. Through visits, meetings, workshops and seminars, the Departrnent focussed on the role of the chief executives of medium and large­sized companies in taking the lead for co汀uption prevention within their working environmen t.

Ready-made coπuption prevention

23

packages enabling a Oexible use of resources were designed for targetted trades and indus的es. B齡ked by promotional advertising in business newspapers and trade joumals, specially trained ICAC staff visited company executives to 0叮叮these packages 出at could be easily adapted for use in their companies. At the same time, companies cou ld choose to join a Business Community Participation Programme under which they would design their own coπuption prevention activities and would receive a sma11 ICAC subsidy towards the cosl of these actlvltles.

For small-sized firrns , the Department used the labour-saving method of direct mail to put the message across. With as many as 330,164 establishments in the trading and manufacturing sectors a1one, the Departrnent will endeavour to reach 的 many of them as possible over 出e next few years with its avai1able resources whilst making sure thal preventive education for other sectors are a1so adequately covered.

In i怨“u叫onal effo巾, the C地partmentwas assisted by 13 professional bodies and trade associations in co-organising various specia1 projects and designing the coπuption prevention packages. Their support not only enhanced irnpact but a1so generated a positive influence in promoting ethical business practices amongst their members.

Schools The Department believes that anti-co汀uplion education for young people will help them develop firrn attitudes ag也nsl coπuption. Consequently, it conducts an active school education programme where anti-corruption messages are conveyed through teaching materia1s. In 1991 the Department added Two-Plus-You , a new set of mora1 education teaching materials for p付maryschools, to its aπay of teaching materia1s for schools. A special feature of this latest sel of materials was the involve­ment of parents in the inculcation of sound person剖 values in primary pupils.

Page 26: Hong Kong ICACthe recornmendations made. The Terms of Reference and Membership of the Committee are at Appendix 3. A Sub-Committee advises on work priorities, reviews progress and

In order to enhance teachers' e叮'ectiveness in using ICAC teachjng materi剖s, the Department ran a develop­ment course to enrich their theoretical knowledge and practical classroom skills.

To prepare senior secondary school students for their first jobs, the Depru甘lent

conducted studjes on young people 's attitudes towards work and work ethlcs. The fmdings from these studies formed the basis of a new set of c訂閱rs guidance teaching materials for teachers to prepare their students for the work environment.

Talks held for secondary school-leavers and tertiary students airn to convey to them basic but practical knowledge on the anti-corruption laws. For tertiary students, case studies of direct relevance to the ∞山田s they undertook we陀 built inω

the talks to explain 出e legal and ethical aspects of the problem of coπuption .

To cover the fu ll spectrum of educationalists, the Department conducted seminars for 1,930 student teacher during 出e year to acquaint them with the Preven位on of Bribery Ordinance and the moral education teaching materials produced by the Department.

Public Sector The Department maintained regular contact with Government offices to promote a clean civil service. During the ye缸, the Department conducted 950 talks for 18,000 civil servants participating in induction and refresher courses. The lectures cen甘ed on points of relevant laws, the role of supervisors in preven自19

corruption, and how to de叫 Wl出 acts of bribery.

Similar talks were given to 5,200 employ臼s of public bodies to enable them to understand bener the Prevention of Bribery Ordinance. Where applicable, messages on supervisory and management role in coπuption prevention were put across.

Report Corruption The Department launched an integrated prograrnme to encourage and facilitate the public to repo口 coπuption. On the

24

m品s media front, television, radio and press advertisements were used to motivate public support for the ICAC and to appeal for the reporting of coπuption offences. Where applicable , the Department also used the opportunity of its direct contacts with the public to encourage the reporting of co汀uption.

All three modes of coπuption reporting, i.e., by telephone; by personal visits to Report Centre or Regional Offices; and by writing to 出e ICAC's post剖 box;

were publicised by various means. In addition, the Department produced, as a pilot scheme, a proforma to provide a simple aJ1d convenient means to report corruption offences in writing. Copies of the proforma were mailed to Owners Corporations aJ1d Mutual Aid Committees of private tenements or given to them during visits by ICAC staff. An evaluation will be carried out in March 1992 to see 叮 the scheme is feasib le for wider use.

In 1991 , the eight ICAC Regional Offices received 1 , 1詢問ports and 3,975 enquiries. Of these reports, 754 were related to coπuption which was 31 % of total co汀uption repo口s received by the ICAC.

Clean Elections For the elections held during the ye缸,the Department mounted a multi-media crunp也gn aJ1d a series of briefmg sessions to advise caJ1didates, their agents, aJ1d voters against election malpractices. In addition, a telephone hotline was set up to handle public enquiries in the election period.

For the fust direct election to the Legislative Council in September, the Department sent each caJ1didate a personal copy of an information kit containing a digest of the main points of the Corrupt aJ1d Illegal Practices Ordinance aJ1d its practical applications.

Pubüc Support The Department maintained close contacts with both the mass media and district organisations to inspire the public's confidence in 出e ICAC and to

Page 27: Hong Kong ICACthe recornmendations made. The Terms of Reference and Membership of the Committee are at Appendix 3. A Sub-Committee advises on work priorities, reviews progress and

foster the support of the population. Apart from using various media to

publicise ICAC court trials and other 訂閱s of its work to achieve both deterrent and educational effects, a series of new Announcements in the Public Interest (APIs) was produced and broadcast on television and radio to emphasize the efforts of the ICAC in m也ntainingfairness and integrity, values 曲的的的sential to a stable and efficient society.

To educate the public against the evils of coπuption and promote better understanding of the work of the ICAC, the Department completed its sixth te levision drama series on past ICAC investigations. The series was telecast in February 1992. The fi缸h series was also re-run in Putonghua on satellite television m 出e same period.

LIAISON WITH ORGANISATIONS IN CHIr叫A

In view of Hong Kong's close cultural, geographical and econornic links wi出the People 's Republic of China, the Department maintained its momenturn in meeting PRC personnel and discussing with them various aspects of anti-corruption work.

An ICAC delegation led by the Commissioner,附 David Jea如eson ,

visited the Guangdong Provincial People's Procuratorate and made contacts with other law enforcement agencies in Guangdong in J une 1991. During the ye缸, senior officials of the PRC's Hong Kong and Macau Affairs Office,出eShenzhen Special Economic Zone People's Procuratora肥,出e Guangdong Provincial People's Procuratorate, and 出e Education Department of the Hainan Provincial Government visited the ICAC.

Throughout the year, there were 23 other visits by ICAC officers upon invitation to various Chinese organisations in Hong Kong to introduce the work of 出e ICAC. Upon the invitation of intermediary org街úsations, 1,000 PRC officials were introduced to the work of the ICAC while they attended various 叮aining COUIses in Hong Kong.

25

FUTURE DD主ECTION

In the year to come, the Department airns to e他ance 出e cost-effectiveness of its education and publicity efforts by making greater use of the mass media and community resources. In view of the high percentage of corruption reports concerning the private sector, the Department wiU continue to target its preventive education at the managerial level of business organisations. However, sufficient emphasis will be maintained in educating civil servants and public body employees on anti-corruption laws and 血e importance of a clean public service.
