A site team leader on the Kai Tak Hospital project has been charged with 10 counts of accepting an advantage as an agent, over alleged payments totalling HK$75,100 from five electrical workers.
The ICAC alleges that between September and November 2026, the team leader accepted 10 payments from the workers in return for helping them secure electrical jobs on the project and remain employed there.
The ICAC said the five workers earned HK$1,300 a day and, fearing they would lose their jobs, paid between HK$9,000 and HK$23,600 each. The team leader had referred the five imported workers to the project. He worked for electrical subcontractor Billion Best (E&M) Engineering. China State Construction Engineering (Hong Kong), the main contractor, used the Labour Importation Scheme to hire imported workers for subcontractors on the project.
The ICAC charged the team leader on the evening of November 11. He appeared at Tuen Mun Magistrates’ Courts the following morning for mention.
