District councillors’ work reports | On-site viewing only; hand-copying or paid photocopying permitted, mobile photography banned; Home Affairs Department staff: “It’s another new requirement from above”
區議員工作報告｜只設現場查閱 只能抄寫、付費影印、禁手機拍攝 民政處職員：都係上頭新要求
More than a year after the new district council system was introduced under the “improved” electoral system, district councillors are required under the performance-monitoring mechanism to submit annual work reports to their district council chairmen, outlining their key work during the year. From today (the 31st), members of the public may only register at the relevant District Office to view district councillors’ work reports; online access is not provided. Secretary for Home and Youth Alice Mak said yesterday that this was “the established practice”. When reporters visited a District Office this morning to view the work reports, they found that the authorities had introduced another “new arrangement”. In the past, members of the public could use their mobile phones to photograph documents such as district councillors’ declarations of expenditure. This time, however, a notice stated that documents could not be copied by “any other means (including taking photographs with mobile phones)”; they could only be photocopied at a charge of ＄1.5 per page, with the process taking four to five working days.
「完善」選舉制度下的新區議會運作超過一年，按履職監察制度，區議員需每年向區議會主席提交工作報告，闡述年度工作重點。 公眾由今日（31日）起，只能到各區民政處登記查看區議員工作報告，不設上網查閱，民青局局長麥美娟昨稱是「沿用一貫做法」。記者今早到民政處查閱工作報告，發現當局再有「新安排」，過去查閱區議員申報開支等文件，公眾能用手機拍攝；惟今次註明禁用「任何其他方式（包括用手機拍攝）複製文件，只能以 ＄1.5 元一張付費複印，前後需時 4 至 5 個工作天。
