NEW National People's Congress (NPC) deputies should introduce a more transparent operation, says Peter Wong Man-kong.
An incumbent deputy for the Eighth NPC, Mr Wong said new deputies should be more accountable as they were selected by a 424-strong panel in Hong Kong.
He envisaged meetings of NPC deputies being gradually opened to the public.
'The meetings of the district boards and the municipal councils are open most of the time,' he said.
'The NPC should also adopt a similar approach in a step-by-step manner.' He said deputies should be more active in executing the body's national duties.
'We were in an embarrassing situation in the past as members of the Chinese legislature operating under the Hong Kong British administration,' he said.
