OMBUDSMAN.HK

The Office of The Ombudsman, established in 1989 under The Ombudsman Ordinance ("the Ordinance") , Cap 397 of the Laws of Hong Kong, serves as the city's independent watchdog of public administration. We investigate complaints of maladministration, identify administrative deficiencies and also recommend remedial measures to redress grievances and improve public administration... The Ombudsman, our staff and advisers are all bound by the Ordinance to maintain secrecy on all matters of any complaint and investigation, and are liable to a fine and imprisonment in case of non-compliance. We may, in the public interest, publish an investigation report without disclosing the names of the persons involved.
