香港公务员事务局局长叶玉如表示，在去年涉及1.66亿港元瓶装水采购合同的丑闻调查中，政府物流署三名官员将承担责任，而前署长陈家俊的银紫荆星章提名已被撤销，尽管他未直接监督相关事务。
香港当局周二宣布，将对政府物流署三名官员在瓶装水采购丑闻中的角色追究责任。该丑闻涉及1.66亿港元（约2130万美元）的合同，叶玉如·何宝儿在新闻发布会上表示，调查发现两名员工将面临纪律听证会。她指出，这些员工未能履行职责，缺乏识别问题并及时向上级报告的意识、判断力和分析能力，并称此类缺陷在部门内普遍存在。
前物流署署长陈家俊被认为是四人中最高级别的公务员，尽管叶玉如因隐私问题拒绝透露姓名，但媒体报道确认其身份。陈家俊原本入选政府颁发的银紫荆星章，但其名字在11月的颁奖典礼名单中被移除，尽管他被免于直接监督责任。
丑闻源于审计署发现的问题，涉及内地供应商如东莞工厂的信鼎信贸易公司，以及广州观音山等地。该事件引发了对政府采购制度的审查，由首席执行官李家超领导的专责小组跟进。财务服务及库务局和律政司也参与调查。尽管细节有限，但此案凸显了公务员体系的问责机制。
