Public Administration and Civil Service Bureau (SAFP) Director Kou Peng Kuan said yesterday that in an attempt to improve the competitiveness of the legislature’s indirect elections the government would study how to encourage more legal persons to take part in the indirect election process.
In jurisprudence, a natural person is a human being, as opposed to a legal person, which may be a private – such as a company or a non-governmental organisation (NGO) – or a public organisation.
Kou made the remarks after taking part in a phone-in programme about the plan hosted by government-owned broadcaster TDM’s Chinese-language radio station Ou Mun Tin Toi.
Kou and Assistant Commissioner Lam Chi Long of the Commission Against Corruption (CCAC) took part in the programme to listen to callers views and answer their questions about the government’s Legislative Assembly election amendment bill.
