Members endorsed the amendments unanimously. 4 Item II – Signature Project Scheme – Construction of Music Fountains at Kwun Tong Promenade 5. The Chairman said that after the last FC meeting, he had written to the Home Affairs Department (“HAD”) on 26 May 2020 and requested it to release the works contract to KTDC so that it could think about the next action. He also said that he had received an interim reply from HAD in mid-June, saying that HAD had received the letter and would give a further reply. 6. Members raised views as follows: 6.1 Mr WAN Ka-him related that he had all along hoping that HAD could submit the works contract to KTDC. Yet, HAD had been refusing to reveal the contract on the ground that the contract involved commercial secrets. Therefore, he asked whether KTDC would have other ways to tackle the problem if HAD still refused to provide the document. He took investigation of the vessel collision incident near Lamma Island as an example and said that some of the legislators had signed a non-disclosure agreement for viewing the investigation report of the collision incident. He believed that HAD could draw experience from that approach. 6.2 Ms Edith LEUNG said that it had been May when the Chairman had written to HAD and it had provided no interim reply until early June. She enquired about the reasons for HAD to remain unable to provide a substantial reply even after a month. 6.3 Mr CHEUNG Man-fung thought that the music fountains at Kwun Tong Promenade, which would be a local facility related to people’s livelihood, was a controversial project. HAD should reveal the contract to the public so as to enhance the Government’s transparency and guarantee the right to know of members of the public. 7. The District Officer (Kwun Tong) (“DO”) remarked that HAD was currently preparing a reply to the letter.
