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.
Asked whether the leave was part of disciplinary actions taken against the official, Secretary for Financial Services and the Treasury Christopher Hui Ching-yu, who oversees the department, said the move was only a “normal arrangement”.
