湯顯明——到了結賬的時候

湯公務酬酢37%超支
部分「花費極大」 報告未提處分


【明報專訊】「廉政公署公務酬酢、餽贈及外訪規管制度和程序獨立檢討委員會」(下稱委員會)報告揭露了在前廉政專員湯顯明治下,廉署在公務酬酢、餽贈及外訪方面共有10項違規情和6項不足之處(見圖),其中委員會發現,由湯顯明宴請、並記入公務酬酢撥款帳目的206次午膳和晚膳中,有37%超出開支上限,有些花費極大;而其他廉署人員的宴會只有2%超支。

湯顯明事件發展至今,看來已具「身為公職人員行為失當」(Misconduct in Public Office)的表面證據。標少第一篇寫他是在22個月前的歷來最不適合做廉政專員的湯顯明,而第一篇建議要立案查他是在2012年2月29日寫的廉政專員湯顯明的操守,為他這人寫了10篇8篇,其中有兩篇是笑話,而兩篇之一湯顯明的一則笑話卻不是笑話,是真事一則。上面的新聞講其他廉署人員的宴會只有2%超支,這講法我有保留,據我所知湯顕明對外酬酢,有時會叫下屬啃了,亦即叫下屬簽賬,入了下屬的數,所以這2%的超支,大有可能應該算入湯顯明的賬內。

這一次單獨揪湯顯明出來也不合理,社區關係處處長穆斐文(劉江華的老婆)怎可獨善其身,有很多隱瞞及掩眼賬目都由她配合才能成功。雖然她是手下,卻份屬同謀(accomplice),既然是刑事調查,她沒有理由可以脫身,我寫廉政風暴時,已主張扯她落馬,要徹底搞好廉署形象,這第一瘀血不能不去。

    1. I agree. I have got the impression that Community Relations Department has come Communist Relations Department under Tong who obviously abused his power to covert for personal political ammunitions.

  2. 但劉太後台強硬,估計白專員也不敢動她。請問標少,能以那一條罪行檢控廉署內部洩密者?洩密者又能否以披露罪行為抗辯理由。謝謝!

    1. To reinstate the image of the ICAC, Mrs Lau should be removed or, if there is sufficient evidence, prosecuted being an accomplice to Misconduct in Public Office. I don't think it is an offence to be a whistleblower unless it concerns about ongoing investigations. The whistleblower only divulged the misdeed or misuse of public money, it is not an offence. However, the whistleblower may have contravened some internal code of conduct imposed on the staff of ICAC, which may result in discontinuing of employment contract.

  3. Thanks so much for your reply. The whistleblower kept on releasing inside information to the media even after the ICAC had announced to carry out the investigation, in particular information that might affect the investigation. Would this breach S.30 of POBO?

  4. It is possible. If you look at S.30, you can see it refers to Part II offences (bribery and corruption related). Only when the investigation relates to Misconduct in Public Office, then there is no problem.
