QUENTIN DEMPSTER: While AlfredTsang's own integrity as a public official is under examination, the ICAC has taken seriously his protest that he has been set up.
Developer Michael Saklaoui has counterclaimed that Mr Tsang has taken bribes on other occasions, and after ICAC approved phone taps and covert audio tapes were played, John Abi?Saab has accused Mr Tsang of having acted as a spy for the ICAC.
Mr Tsang issued a statement today saying that ``in the best interests of Strathfield'', he was stepping down as mayor.
The footage from a hidden camera, handed to the ICAC, showed Councillor Tsang allegedly accepting a wad of $100 bills, although it was not known why the money was given to him, the newspaper said.
He said the watchdog also had the power, at the conclusion of an investigation, to recommend to the governor that a councillor be removed from office.

The ICAC inquiry concluded that Abi-Saab facilitated the flmail and intended to install himself as the new Mayor and having Tsang remain as a Councillor so his vote could be controlled by Abi-Saab.
The ICAC report in 2005 recommended that Abi-Saab be charged with flmail by threat to publish; for wilfully making false statements to mislead the ICAC; for giving false and misleading evidence at an ICAC hearing; and for procuring the giving of false testimony at an ICAC hearing.
ICAC concluded that Abi-Saab's flmail attempt was carried out following two Mayoral Minutes Mr Tsang brought to Council in June and July 2004 which recommended removing proposed zoning changes and planned increases to floor space ratios in Strathfield South.
