Mayor’s Remarks:
The city government has responded to the issue of government performance in the meeting yesterday (February 1), which is a topic that has drawn wide attention form the public and media. All bureaus should set up a communication channel or pass on sufficient information to the Department of Information for news releases within the shortest amount of time after an incident takes place. It is not acceptable when responsible colleagues arrive at the site concerned and not knowing the latest developments, or even deflecting their responsibilities. Director generals of all bureaus should remind division chiefs to be cautious about the statements and responses made.
