cross-district operations to enhance the<br />

unpredictability of raids. To ensure complaints<br />

about staff are investigated impartially, we<br />

recommended that these complaints should be<br />

handled <strong>by</strong> officers not involved in the day-to-day<br />

operations and the results of investigations should<br />

be scrutinized <strong>by</strong> a panel of senior officers.<br />

Housing Department (HD) - Construction of<br />

Public Housing Flats<br />

Following a number of corruption cases in<br />

public housing construction projects, we carried<br />

out an overall review of HD’s site supervision<br />

system to see how the corruption prevention<br />

aspect of the system could be strengthened. We<br />

identified a host of issues that had led to quality<br />

and corruption problems on site. These issues,<br />

covering both management and operational<br />

matters, included staff integrity, site organization,<br />

letting of contracts, site inspection arrangements,<br />

and material testing.<br />

In the course of the review, we prepared a<br />

guidance note for HD staff to enhance their<br />

integrity awareness when dealing with<br />

contractors, promoted commitment to ethical<br />

practices <strong>by</strong> contractors and consultants working<br />

for HD, provided integrity training for the site staff<br />

of consultants and contractors, and participated in<br />

HD’s own reviews of the arrangements for site<br />

inspection, selection and employment of<br />

consultants, and control of piling works.<br />

In addition, we studied the quality control<br />

procedures adopted <strong>by</strong> HD for Private Sector<br />

Participation Scheme Projects and for the<br />

employment of contractors for installation of<br />

building services works in new works projects.<br />

For Private Sector Participation Scheme Projects,<br />

HD employs Monitoring Surveyors to oversee the<br />

quality of site works. To enhance their<br />

accountability, we recommended that HD should<br />

lay down guidelines for assessing the performance<br />

of Monitoring Surveyors and require them to<br />

submit on time their plans for monitoring the<br />

quality of site works. For the procurement of<br />

building services works, we recommended that<br />

HD should avoid using brand names in contract<br />

specifications, and should conduct technical<br />

assessments on listed contractors who have not<br />

carried out work for HD exceeding a specified<br />

period.<br />
