Appointment controversies

In late 2006, Law's appointment as Commissioner of the ICAC, announced by the Government on October 31, 2006, was not well received. The unpopular Secretary for Education and Manpower was seen as being weak on security-related issues. In addition, as Law's and Raymond Wong's positions were involved direct swap, the government was derided by the Civic and Liberal parties for belittling an important position by playing "musical chairs". Law was not perceived to be at the end of her civil service career, while the post of Commissioner was traditionally a 'final' posting, allowing the official to work without fear or favour.[1]
