DCs are important consultative bodies: Eric Chan
Chief Secretary Eric Chan on Sunday said future District Councillors will play a crucial role in advising the government on policymaking. Speaking to reporters after voting in Fo Tan, he said District Councils serve as important consultative bodies that bridge the government and the people. "It is not enough for the government alone to make good policies. I think residents must cooperate by telling us what they like, what they want us to do more, and which areas they want us to focus more on," he said. "By doing so, we can introduce policies that meet the needs of the public more accurately. That's why this district council election is very important."
