香港公務員工會聯合會主席警告稱，在當局致力於解決公務員表現不佳問題之際，收緊紀律規範可能會變得過度。公務員事務局計劃於今年修訂相關規例，包括更嚴格地規定停職期間扣薪及沒收薪酬的安排。
香港公務員工會聯合會主席梁籌庭對公務員事務局的計劃表示擔憂。局方在回應立法會議員查詢時表示，目標於今年落實修訂《公務人員（管理）命令》及《公務人員（紀律）規例》，以完善紀律機制，當中包括收緊停職期間扣薪及沒收扣留薪酬的規定。局方披露，2022年至2025年間，共有151名公務員因嚴重不當行為或刑事罪行而被免職。數據顯示數字逐年下降，由2022至23年度的60人，減至2023至24年度的51人及2024至25年度的40人；當中73人涉及刑事罪行，78人涉及不當行為。在各部門中，以警務人員的免職人數最多，達44人。梁籌庭接受《南華早報》訪問時表示，收緊紀律處分有變得過度的風險，部分主管在削減人手目標的壓力下可能會採取激進手段。他對公務員的人才流失問題表示擔憂。
