The legislature yesterday passed four debate motions separately proposed by three directly-elected lawmakers – Ella Lei Cheng I, Ng Kuok Cheong and Sulu Sou Ka Hou.
The passage of each of the debate motions yesterday means that the legislature will request government officials to attend the plenary sessions when the public debates between the officials and lawmakers take place.
In her debate motion, Lei questions whether the government is taking into account whether its proposal to increase public bus fares would adversely impact its existing traffic policy of encouraging the use of public transport by residents.
