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。
