林鄭辦公室遷入境事務大樓 裝修開支280萬
After former Chief Executive Carrie Lam Cheng Yuet-ngor left office in 2022, the government rented a unit at Pacific Place in Admiralty for her use because the former Chief Executive’s Office in Central was full. The three-year lease cost HK$377,000 a month, prompting public outcry. In January this year, the Office of the Former Chief Executive said it would move to the 23rd floor of the Immigration Tower in Wan Chai after the lease expired. In a written reply today to a question from Legislative Council member Michael Tien Pui-chun, Chief Secretary for Administration Chan Kwok-ki said the renovation cost was HK$2.8 million.
The reply also said that when the government rented the Pacific Place unit in 2022, the renovation cost was HK$6.55 million. The government had negotiated with the landlord, who agreed to accept the unit in its current condition, so reinstatement works were not required.
前行政長官林鄭月娥於2022年卸任後，因中環的前特首辦「人滿」，故政府租用金鐘太古廣場單位予林鄭使用，三年租約每月租金達37.7萬，引起公眾嘩然。今年1月，前任行政長官辦公室稱將於租約期滿後，遷往灣仔入境事務大樓23樓。政務司司長陳國基今日回覆立法會議員田北辰書面質詢，指相關裝修開支為280萬。
回覆中亦提到，當局在2022年租用太古廣場時，裝修費為655萬。政府已與業主協商，獲同意按目前情況交回單位，無須進行還原工程。

林鄭「前任特首辦」上年度開支達917萬 按年增32%
As the Government scales back its handouts while facing a fiscal deficit of $100 billion, government spending continues to rise. The former chief executive’s office spent about $20.99 million in 2023/24, of which more than 40%, or about $9.17 million, was spent on Carrie Lam Cheng Yuet-ngor’s former chief executive office at Pacific Place in Admiralty—up 31.9% from about $6.95 million the previous year. The Administration Wing told the Legislative Council today that Lam’s office was set up in mid-2022, and the 2022/23 figure reflected nine months of expenditure, while the 2023/24 figure fully reflected 12 months. Asked whether it would be moved to a “less Grade A” location, the Administration Wing said a former chief executive should be accorded an appropriate status and respect after leaving office. Taking into account the former chief executive’s status and ceremonial duties, the office was most suitably located in a secure building in the city centre. It also said former chief executive offices were unique in nature and it was inappropriate to set hard indicators.
政府面對千億財赤就「派糖減甜」，但政府開支卻不斷增加。前任行政長官辦公室2023/24年度的開支約為2,099萬元，當中有逾四成約917萬為林鄭月娥位於金鐘太古廣場「前任特首辦」的開支，較前一年約695萬元增31.9%。行政署今日在立法會表示，林鄭的辦公室在2022年年中設立，2022/23年度的數字反映9個月的開支，2023/24年度才完全反映12個月的開支。至於會否遷至「無咁甲級」的地方，行政署指特首離任後需給予恰如其分的地位及尊重，考慮其身份及禮儀工作，辦公室最適合設於市區中心及有保安的大廈，而且前特首辦公室性質獨特，不適宜定立硬指標。

何柱國：曾喚李家超勸林鄭勿推修例 「連制裁佢都唔係幾明」
Former National Committee member of the Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference Charles Tsu Kwok Ho recently told Chip Tsao in an interview, revisiting the 2019 anti-extradition amendment events, that before the authorities introduced the amendment to the Fugitive Offenders Ordinance, he had separately advised then Chief Executive Carrie Lam and Secretary for Security John Lee that it would otherwise bring US sanctions, but neither accepted his advice. He further disclosed that he had explained the consequences of the amendment to John Lee at a Jockey Club café, but Lee “didn’t even really understand the sanctions against him”: “I knew, because even Carrie Lam didn’t really understand. She was someone who specialised in security; she wasn’t in business, so she wouldn’t understand it. But I also explained it to her.”
前全國政協委員何柱國日前接受陶傑訪問，重提2019年反修例事件，指在當局推出《逃犯條例》修訂前，曾先後向時任行政長官林鄭月娥、保安局局長李家超勸諫，不然將引來美國制裁，但二人並未接納。他更透露曾在馬會咖啡店內，向李家超解釋修例的後果，但對方「連制裁佢都唔係幾明」：「我知道，因為連林鄭月娥都唔係幾明，佢係一個專門管保安嘅，佢唔係做生意佢唔會聽得明，但我亦都解釋過俾佢聽。」
