Secretary for Economy and Finance Lionel Leong Vai Tac said yesterday that the government’s plan to amend a decree-law regulating the government’s procurement of goods and services aims to improve the transparency of the government’s procurement procedures.
Leong attended a plenum in the legislature’s hemicycle which discussed a debate motion by directly-elected lawmaker Mak Soi Kun on the procurement issue.The legislature passed Mak’s debate motion last month, which questioned whether the government should amend as soon as possible the decree-law on the government’s procurement procedures – which he said was outdated.
