香港行政长官李家超及七名官员周四公开向公众鞠躬致歉，针对去年11月发生在宏福苑（Wang Fuk Court）并造成168人死亡的住宅火灾承担责任 1。一份独立调查报告指出，尽管主要肇事者为私人承包商，但政府机构存在“数十年的失败”，四个相关部门因执法宽松加剧了灾难后果，应承担部分责任 1。作为问责行动的一部分，房屋局局长何永贤已宣布辞职 1。
在司法层面，当局已对7名个人和2家公司提出包括误杀在内的指控，至少35人被捕 1。遇难者家属对现有处理表示不满，叶家辉认为问责不足并要求所有涉事局长下台，罗女士则批评道歉来得太迟 1。为回应公众关切，特区政府承诺启动为期三个月的调查以审视政府在其中的角色，并提议将围标行为入罪以及彻底改革投诉系统 1。
Hong Kong’s Chief Executive John Lee and seven officials bowed to the public on Thursday to apologise for a massive residential fire at Wang Fuk Court that killed 168 people last November 1. The apology followed the release of an independent inquiry report which concluded that government agencies suffered from "decades of failure," identifying four departments as bearing partial responsibility for the disaster 1. While private contractors were cited as the primary perpetrators, the investigation found that lax enforcement by officials exacerbated the catastrophic outcome 1.
In response to the findings, Secretary for Housing Winnie Ho resigned from her position 1. Authorities have brought charges against seven individuals and two companies, including allegations of manslaughter, with at least 35 people arrested in connection with the incident 1. The government has committed to launching a three-month investigation into its own role and proposed systemic reforms, including criminalising bid-rigging and overhauling the complaint system 1.
Victims’ families expressed dissatisfaction with the level of accountability. Relative Yip Ka-kui argued that all implicated secretaries should step down 1. Another family member, referred to as Ms Lo, described the apology as belated 1.
