| Abstract | In this article, the author comments on the granting of authority to supposedly autonomous entities, particularly the Airport Authority (AA). He thinks that it is dangerous to grant virtually unlimited powers to the entities to spend on the government and ultimately the taxpayers' - behalf. There are numbers of questions about the progress, change of designs, compensation, contractual matters and the personnel sector of the airport project that have never been directly answered by AA. The AA claims that virtually all information about Chek Lap Kok and its operations is commercially sensitive, but the author believes that it is AA's obligation to provide much greater transparency and that the AA is to be subjected to much tighter scrutiny upon July 1997. |
