Carlson Chan’s former deputy, Avia Lai, appointed as acting director of the department
The head of Hong Kong’s logistics department, embroiled in a water procurement scandal, has started his pre-retirement leave.
According to the latest government gazette, Carlson Chan Ka-shun ceased to be the director of the Government Logistics Department on Friday as he began his pre-retirement leave.
His former deputy, Avia Lai Wong Shuk-han, was appointed as the acting director of the department.
Last month, the government was caught in a bottled water procurement scandal in which the logistics department awarded a three-year HK$52.9 million (US$6.8 million) contract to Xin Ding Xin Trade, which allegedly used fraudulent documents.
