The Policy Research and Regional Development Bureau (DSEPDR) has condemned the “false accusations, defamations, slander and personal attacks” in an anonymous letter from “staff members” of the bureau complaining about its director Mi Jian about his alleged nepotism in the recruitment of employees for the bureau and other alleged offences such as the alleged use of public funds for private benefit.
In a Chinese-language statement released by the bureau on Monday night, the bureau also said that “after confirming the facts… it reserved the right to file a complaint in line with the law”. The statement did not say where the counter-complaint would be sent.
CCAC confirmation
The statement came after the Commission Against Corruption (CCAC) confirmed to the media at the weekend that it had received the complaint in the form of a letter.
