Mrs Sophie LEUNG will address the Council on the "Report of the Legislative Council Investigation Committee established under Rule 49B(2A) of the Rules of Procedure in respect of the Motion to censure Honourable KAM Nai-wai". Report of the Legislative Council Investigation Committee established under Rule 49B(2A) of the Rules of Procedure in respect of the Motion to censure Honourable KAM Nai-wai MRS SOPHIE LEUNG (in Cantonese): President, in my capacity as Chairman of the Investigation Committee established under Rule 49B(2A) of the Rules of Procedure in respect of the Motion to censure Honourable KAM Nai-wai (Investigation Committee), I table before this Council the report of the Investigation Committee. Ms Miriam LAU moved a motion to censure Mr KAM Nai-wai at the Council meeting on 9 December 2009. This is the first time a motion was moved by a Member to censure another Member for alleged misbehaviours in accordance with Article 79(7) of the Basic Law since the establishment of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (HKSAR). The President of the Legislative Council shall declare that the Member will no longer qualified for the office when he is censured for misbehaviour or breach of oath by a vote of two thirds of the Members present. The Investigation Committee is established under Rule 49B(2A) of the Rules of Procedure (RoP) and is responsible for establishing the facts stated in the motion and giving its views on whether or not the facts as established constitute grounds for the proposed censure. LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL ─ 28 March 2012 7473 As it is the first time an investigation committee is established by the Legislative Council, though Rule 73A of RoP has prescribed the basic mode of operation, the Investigation Committee formulated a set of practice and procedure on the basis of the framework of procedural provisions of RoP before it begins its substantive work, so as to ensure that the Member under investigation, the Members making the allegations, and the other parties involved in the investigation will be treated fairly. In formulating the set of practice and procedure, the Investigation Committee has made reference to some generally applicable principles of natural justice as well as the procedures adopted by other committees of the Legislative Council and legislatures in other jurisdictions in conducting similar investigations; in addition, it has taken into consideration the views expressed by Members, including Mr KAM, who is under investigation. After thorough discussion, special arrangements have been added to the set of practice and procedure to address views raised by all parties concerned. First of all, Mr KAM has requested the permission of the Investigation Committee to cross-examine the witnesses by himself or by his counsel.

  • Reviewing and Evaluating the Direct Elections to the Legislative Council and the Transformation of Political Parties in Hong Kong, 1991-2016
    Journal of US-China Public Administration, August 2016, Vol. 13, No. 8, 499-517 doi: 10.17265/1548-6591/2016.08.001 D DAVID PUBLISHING Reviewing and Evaluating the Direct Elections to the Legislative Council and the Transformation of Political Parties in Hong Kong, 1991-2016 Chung Fun Steven Hung The Education University of Hong Kong, Hong Kong After direct elections were instituted in Hong Kong, politicization inevitably followed democratization. This paper intends to evaluate how political parties’ politics happened in Hong Kong’s recent history. The research was conducted through historical comparative analysis, with the context of Hong Kong during the sovereignty transition and the interim period of democratization being crucial. For the implementation of “one country, two systems”, political democratization was hindered and distinct political scenarios of Hong Kong’s transformation were made. The democratic forces had no alternative but to seek more radicalized politics, which caused a decisive fragmentation of the local political parties where the establishment camp was inevitable and the democratic blocs were split into many more small groups individually. It is harmful. It is not conducive to unity and for the common interests of the publics. This paper explores and evaluates the political history of Hong Kong and the ways in which the limited democratization hinders the progress of Hong Kong’s transformation. Keywords: election politics, historical comparative, ruling, democratization The democratizing element of the Hong Kong political system was bounded within the Legislative Council under the principle of the separation of powers of the three governing branches, Executive, Legislative, and Judicial. Popular elections for the Hong Kong legislature were introduced and implemented for 25 years (1991-2016) and there were eight terms of general elections for the Legislative Council.
