Nearly HK$1 billion (US$128.2 million) has been spent on police overtime pay over the past six months of social unrest in Hong Kong, the Security Bureau has revealed in a paper submitted to the Legislative Council.
The amount was disclosed as lawmakers met on Friday to scrutinise the government’s funding request for a pay rise for civil servants.
Opposition pan-democrats had asked the government to remove police from the funding request, arguing that there should be a separate discussion on pay rises for the 30,000-strong force, which has come under fire from some quarters over its handling of anti-government protests since June.The ongoing protests have stretched the Hong Kong Police Force to the limit, and the government has been tackling the issue by recruiting “special constables” from other disciplined services, including the Correctional Services Department.
