香港政府即将发布一份预计将严厉抨击的报告,由一个独立委员会调查该市数十年来最致命的火灾,行政长官李家超将与高级官员举行新闻发布会,概述政府的后续行动和系统性改革。

The Hong Kong government is set to release what is expected to be a deeply scathing report by an independent committee probing the city’s deadliest blaze in decades, with Chief Executive John Lee Ka-chiu holding a press conference alongside top officials to outline the administration’s consequent actions and systemic reforms.

消息人士透露,至少一名高级官员将为这场悲剧承担责任,作为周四下午将宣布的一套“大胆、全面且深远的改革”措施的一部分。

Sources said that at least one senior official would take the rap for the tragedy as part of a set of “bold, comprehensive and far-reaching reforms” to be announced on Thursday afternoon.

这份报告在大埔宏福苑火灾夺走168条生命11个月后发布,预计将指责宏福苑翻新工程的总承包商、项目顾问和一名检查员在悲剧中涉嫌扮演的角色。报告还预计将点名四个政府部门追究问责。

The report, released 11 months after the Wang Fuk Court fire in Tai Po claimed 168 lives, is expected to assign blame to the main contractor for renovations at the housing estate, the project consultant and an inspector for their alleged roles in the tragedy. It is also expected to single out four government departments for accountability.

根据早前报道,由法官领导的调查委员会预计将指出,房屋局的独立监察组在监管宏福苑翻新工程方面缺乏监督,应在四个部门中承担最大责任。报告中受批评的其他三个政府机构是消防处、屋宇署和劳工处。

According to earlier reports, the judge-led committee is expected to say that the Housing Bureau’s Independent Checking Unit should bear the greatest responsibility among the four for a lack of oversight of the renovation work at Wang Fuk Court. The other three government bodies criticised in the report were the Fire Services Department, the Buildings Department and the Labour Department.

政府还预计将推出立法将围标定为刑事罪行,并改革工程和翻新承包商的监管方式。将成立由政务司司长领导的高层督导委员会,跟踪改革进度。更多报道:至少1名高级官员为致命大埔火灾担责 作为“大胆”改革一部分香港将在致命大埔火灾后对围标实施刑事处罚香港保安局长承诺问责与改革 待大埔火灾报告发布“深刻”大埔大火最终报告点名4个政府部门南华早报记者
