A PROPERTY consultant appeared in Eastern Court yesterday accused of organising bribes totalling $170,000.

Ng Sai-kwong, 44, is accused of inciting Chan Yik-king to give $100,000 to staff of the Public Works Department, as an inducement to their processing and granting approval to a building application at Koway Plaza, Chai Wan, between August and October 1992.

He is also charged with accepting $70,000 from So Kam-cheong, as an inducement for favouring investment company director Ko Yuen-ching in evicting tenants at Koway Plaza in November 1992. Ng further faces three counts of theft and two of obtaining property by deception.
