Authorities Alleged Political Retaliation on Pro-democracy District Councilor
Kwok Chi-Chung, a
pro-democracy district councilor of the Eastern District, shared a post in his Facebook citing the message from the government's Eastern District Office. According to the authorities, if a councilor office has been used for the strike referendum and the pro-democracy primary election, the Home Affairs Department won't process its operating expenses for a month, including rental, staff salary, the bills for water, electricity, internet and internet access, etc.
Kwok criticized the decision, calling it ridiculous. He believed that organizing the strike referendum and the primary election could let civilians in different districts express their opinions as a result of influencing the welfare of people in this district. That was entirely in accord with the responsibility of the district council. Kwok expressed strong discontent that the authorites had bundled the expense of election and non-election days and pointed out that such unreasonable deduction of operating expenses by the authority constitutes administrative suppression.
