Hong Kong Police Force - Massage<br />

Establishment Licences<br />

The licensing of massage establishments<br />

and the enforcement of licence conditions are<br />

governed <strong>by</strong> the Massage Establishments<br />

Ordinance. The Commissioner of Police is the<br />

licensing authority and is responsible for enforcing<br />

the Ordinance. Following the conviction of a<br />

police sergeant for accepting free massage<br />

services and unauthorized loans from a massage<br />

establishment operator, we reviewed the Police’s<br />

licensing and enforcement procedures. The<br />

review showed that there were inherent<br />

corruption risks in the system, as massage<br />

establishment operators had an incentive to bribe<br />

police officers in order to expedite the issue of a<br />

licence or for advance warning of police<br />

inspections and raids.<br />

We recommended that supervision and<br />

control in the licensing and enforcement<br />

procedures should be enhanced. Guidelines<br />

governing the assessment of applications should<br />

be laid down and supervisory checks should be<br />

conducted on applications which were approved<br />

despite adverse comments had been received<br />

from police districts or neighbouring residents.<br />

Supervisors of enforcement teams should add<br />

targets to the planned inspection schedules at<br />

short notice to reduce the risk of tipping off, and<br />

there should be clear instructions prohibiting<br />

officers from patronizing massage establishments<br />

or accepting entertainment from operators with<br />

whom they have official dealings.<br />

Information Technology Services Department<br />

(ITSD) - Letting and Administration of<br />

Contracts for Provision of Information<br />

Technology Contract Staff<br />

To cater for the increasing workload<br />

arising from computer projects in government,<br />

ITSD appoints a number of term contractors to<br />

supply information technology staff for selection<br />

<strong>by</strong> ITSD to work on computer projects in<br />

government departments. These staff are not<br />

employees of government and the period of their<br />

service varies with project.<br />

To ensure that the computer project<br />

contracts are awarded in an open and competitive<br />

manner, we recommended that ITSD should<br />

require contract staff participating in tender<br />
