新政府威信江河日下,政務務司司長林鄭月娥昨日表示,擔心政府能力不夠強,更罕有地提出,憂慮廉政公署及申訴專員公署成為行政障礙。
林鄭昨日出席午餐會時,談到擔心政府執行政策能力不夠強,可以想像在廉政公署及申訴專員公署等監督制約下,官員承受巨大壓力。林鄭續說,當然這些機構不是壞事,有時亦是好事,能維護公民社會。但是假如官員面對它們,因為不懂如何應付,這些機構成為主要障礙,就可能會影響政府的執行政策能力。
林鄭發言原文:We might not be able to have strong executive ability, that’s something worries me a lot. You just imagine the pressure that public servant is under, with all those institutions, checks and balances, all that Ombudsman, ICAC. Not that they are bad, sometimes these things are good. These are the safeguards of the civil society. But if they become a major hurdle, because we don’t know how to deal with them, then, at the end of the day, what would suffer will be the government executive ability to deliver things. (根據現場錄音整理)
事實上,近年申訴專員公署揭發屋宇署在新界僭健執法不力,引爆高官僭健醜聞;廉政公署先後拘捕包括麥齊光、許仕仁等前任高官。林鄭此番言論,未知是否若有所指。
有「好打得」之稱的林鄭月娥又指,政府施政困難,基於以往政策由下而上(bottom-up approach)的機制,先由部門醞釀,特首一年一度在施政報告公布,但做法已不合時宜。因為梁振英在競選時已向市民作出承諾,市民要看的是實際行動,政府最大的挑戰,是如何實施梁振英的政綱 。

林鄭係話ICAC 同申訴專員公署係"hurdle",又時又令政府"suffer",其實佢係咪想講呢兩個機構阻頭阻勢?
