'Ugly behaviour' by officials on air
( 2003-10-08 15:04) (China Daily)
The TV station in Xuan'en,
Hubei Province, recently showed a special news segment featuring the "ugly
behaviour" of government officials attending a meeting, reports Beijing Evening
News.
The county government held a meeting on agricultural work in the coming
winter on September 17; and the news showed pictures of some officials either
slumped in their chairs, dozing off, or making a call on a mobile phone - doing
everything but listen to the speakers.
The news, which was replayed several times in the past few days, also exposed
some officials who arrived late or left earlier.
The county government said the exposure was to show the government's
determination to reform officials' working style.
