Cultural Affairs Bureau (IC) President Leung Hio Ming promised yesterday that his bureau will review its procedures for hiring staff, with the aim of ensuring that its recruitment procedures will always be conducted in line with the law.
Leung made the pledge in response to a hard-hitting report released by the Commission Against Corruption (CCAC) late last week, which slammed the bureau for having hired a large number of staff illegally through acquisition of services (AoS) contracts.
Apart from probing suspected graft, the CCAC also investigates alleged illegalities in the public administration.
