Attorney General Graham Leung says there can be no returning to the dark days of tyranny where agents of the State were routinely sent to the homes of people who disagreed with the Government.
While delivering his maiden speech in Parliament, Leung says if the anecdotal evidence is to be believed there has been serious dipping into public funds in the past, some of it is in possible breach of the law, and those responsible must face the full brunt of the law.
He also confirmed that the position of Commissioner of FICAC has recently been advertised and he hopes that the position can be filled as quickly as possible as there is much unfinished business before FICAC.
Leung says FICAC has cases going back as far as 2014 and there may be a need to restore a dedicated corruption court and he intends to liaise closely with stakeholders in order to consider the justification for it, if any.
