The government spent four billion patacas on leasing office space in private properties for its bureaus and other public entities between 2004 and 2014, the Commission of Audit (CA) said in a report yesterday.
The commission criticised the Lands, Public Works and Transport Bureau (DSSOPT) for being responsible for the dilemma by failing to plan for the construction of government buildings.
The report points out that the government rents a large number of private properties for its various bureaus and other public entities. The report says the situation is “quite rare internationally”.
