政府擬修訂公務員紀律機制 五年間214被免職 2021/22年被免職公務員人數急升
The Government submitted a paper to the Legislative Council on 15 March proposing amendments to the Public Service (Administration) Order and the Public Service (Disciplinary) Regulations. The paper revealed that more than 1,000 civil servants had been subject to disciplinary action and punishment over the past five years for misconduct or criminal offences, and proposed amendments to the civil service disciplinary management mechanism. The proposed amendments mainly cover three areas: streamlining disciplinary procedures, revising suspension arrangements, and making technical amendments to align with the National Security Law.
政府日前（15日）向立法會提交文件，建議修訂《公務人員（管理）命令》及《公務人員（紀律）規例》，文件透露過去五年有逾千公務員因不當行為或刑事罪行而須接受紀律行動和懲處，並提出修訂公務員紀律管理機制。有關修訂主要涉及三大範疇，包括簡化紀律程序、修訂停職安排及配合《國安法》作出的技術修訂。
