Legislators ask Leung Chun-ying to explain illegal structures

Legislators from across the political spectrum called on Chief Executive Leung Chun-ying to explain illegal structures at his home, on Wednesday, one day after the top court ruled on a case related to the matter.
Their calls came after the Court of Final Appeal on Tuesday dismissed a legal challenge to Leung’s victory in the March 25 chief executive election. The case was launched by his election rival Albert Ho Chun-yan, the Democratic Party chairman at the time.
Leung has said he would give a full explanation of the illegal structures once all “legal proceedings” related to the case were finished.
The Democratic Party sent an urgent fax to the Chief Executive’s Office on Wednesday, urging Leung to fulfil his promise.
Emily Lau Wai-hing, the party’s vice-chairwoman, said it was time for the chief executive to come clean on the matter.
“Leung should compile a timeline of all the events to let the public clearly know when he bought the flat, when he discovered the illegal structures and how he dealt with them,” Lau said.
