The Commission Against Corruption (CCAC) said in a statement on Friday that most of the various allegations against Policy Research and Regional Development Bureau (DSEPDR) Director Mi Jian listed in an anonymous letter from “staff members” of the bureau that the anti-graft body received in June were untrue.
However, the statement slammed the bureau’s recruitment of staff members for failing to comply with “the principles of fairness and openness” demanded by the public administration’s recruitment rules.
“The CCAC found that most of the allegations mentioned in the complaint were unable to be substantiated or did not amount to a breach of the law,” the statement said, adding that “however, the bureau’s practices of hiring its staff members without going through open recruitment processes did not comply with the principles of fairness of openness in the legal system for the recruitment of public servants.”
