Benjamin Tang vows to make lawmakers eat their words as he stands his ground against claims that he lacks the independence and qualifications for the job
Controversial new director of audit Benjamin Tang Kwok-bun stood firm yesterday against cross-party opposition to his appointment.
And he vowed to persuade lawmakers who doubt his independence and professional qualifications that he is up to the job.
Mr Tang urged the community to give him time to prove his integrity and said he would approach his job 'independently and with transparency'.
He admitted, though, that lawmakers' concerns were understandable.
He said: 'I will try my best to co-operate with [the legislators], explain to them, and use my working attitude to persuade them, let them understand that my future auditing work would be fair and impartial.'
