Hong Kong Governor MacLehose is determined to clarify his determination, set up the Independent Commission Against Corruption and ask corrupt officials to explain the ins and outs of abnormal assets. Anyone who can't explain clearly will be cleaned up and prosecuted by the Hong Kong government. In addition to being resolute and vigorous, Hong Kong people call it a storm of clean government. Corrupt officials are afraid of honest officials coming to the door. Please go for a cup of coffee and explain the case. Prior to this, various departments of the British Hong Kong government had already set up anti-corruption departments. However, these anti-corruption departments are deaf ears, just looking good, colluding with each other, worse than anyone else. The fuse was lit on June 8, 1973. Peter Peter Godber, a corrupt official, successfully absconded, bypassing Singapore and returning to his hometown in England. The news immediately spread throughout Hong Kong, and Hong Kong people, who had already suffered from corruption, were furious and their confidence in the government's anti-corruption work fell to a new low. Citizens from all walks of life have taken to the streets to protest, and the slogan "Anti-corruption, arrest Peter Gerber" has come and gone. To quell public anger, then Governor MacLehose appointed Sir Barry Canal, a senior deputy justice, to set up an investigation committee to thoroughly investigate the reasons for Peter Godber's escape and review the anti-corruption work at that time. In a short time, the Baili Canal put forward the investigation report of the Baili Canal Report. In this report, Beretta repeatedly stressed that the Gerber case was filed as early as two years ago, but for a long time, it has not made much progress. One of the key reasons is that the anti-corruption office belongs to the police department, so it is impossible to conduct independent investigations, and it is always restricted by all parties. Some restrictions don't even come from Peter Godber, but from within the police. In his report, Bailiqu analyzed the advantages and disadvantages of the anti-corruption department within the police in detail, so he suggested establishing an independent anti-corruption agency and implementing stricter anti-corruption laws. Governor MacLehose attached great importance to this report and published the "Hundred Miles Canal Report".

197310 June 17, MacLehose also asked the Legislative Council to agree to set up an independent anti-corruption agency. 1974 February 15, the Hong Kong Independent Commission Against Corruption was announced, and its funds were audited by the Advisory Committee on Corruption and the Chief Secretary (now the Secretary for Home Affairs). The Commissioner of the Independent Commission Against Corruption is appointed by the Governor, directly subordinate to and accountable to the Governor of Hong Kong. No one in any other organization has the right to interfere in the work of the Commissioner of the Independent Commission Against Corruption. This determines that the Hong Kong Independent Commission Against Corruption (ICAC) has supreme power. Except for the governor, everyone is within the scope of its investigation and will not be interfered. After the establishment of the Independent Anti-Corruption Commission (ICAC), the file about Peter Godber was quickly transferred from the Anti-Corruption Office of the police force to ICAC, which was also the first case of ICAO. The final arrest of Peter Peter Godber also established a reputation for the ICAC.
