John Lee and Ministers Set Out Reform Proposals After Wang Fuk Court Fire, Supervision Committee to Oversee Implementation

After the independent committee set up over the Wang Fuk Court fire submitted its report to Chief Executive John Lee last Thursday, the government is expected to publish the report as soon as today, together with reform proposals including criminalising bid-rigging as recommended by the Competition Commission and strengthening supervision of contractors and professionals for major building maintenance. John Lee will hold a press conference today with multiple ministers to set out the comprehensive reform plan, and the government will establish a supervision committee led by the Chief Secretary for Administration to oversee implementation.
