Press Statement by the Urban Renewal Authority
In response to media enquiries on a case of the District Court
today (Tuesday) in connection with URA projects, a spokesman of the
Urban Renewal Authority issues the following statement :-
"The Urban Renewal Authority attaches great importance to the
honesty of its staff, the integrity of its operation procedure and
the need to protect sensitive information in order to safeguard
against any abuse of its compensation policy.
The Authority commends the ICAC for its success in this
investigation and hopes that the verdict today would pose a
deterrent to those who intend to conspire in abusing the
Authority's compensation policy.
The Authority is seeking further assistance from the Corruption
Prevention Department of the ICAC in reviewing its operation
procedures in order to minimise opportunities of corruptive abuses
and to detect fraudulent behaviour through more effective
supervisory measures."
