Yip Kat-kong (Kenneth Yip) is an appointed member of the Tuen Mun District Council for the seventh term (2024–2027). He reports his occupation as a businessman and was appointed as a member of the business community. Within the council he serves on the District Facilities and Works Committee, the Food, Environment and Hygiene Committee and the Community Participation and Culture and Recreation Committee, and is a member of the task force on boosting the local economy and the Community Participation and Culture and Recreation Working Group; his ward office is in the San Hui area of Tuen Mun. He attracted public attention over a traffic case: he was involved in an incident of drink-driving and driving on the wrong side of the road into an oncoming taxi, and ultimately admitted dangerous driving, receiving 200 hours of community service and a six-month driving ban. The Secretary for Home and Youth Affairs, Mak Mei-kuen, accepted the recommendation of an investigation committee and, finding that the sentence amounted to misconduct, suspended him from his council duties for one week, during which he was barred from acting as a member and had his remuneration and allowances withheld; he was the first district councillor to be disciplined under the Council Member Performance Monitoring Mechanism. After the 2023 reform of the District Council system he was appointed by the Chief Executive and took office on 1 January 2024. The council has 32 members and is chaired by the District Officer. Beyond these public records, little is known about his education and business background.
