The Authority may reprimand, reduce in rank, retire, dismiss or punish in some other manner a person who had, while the person was in the employment of the Planning Department, the Research and Statistics Unit or the former Authority, been guilty of any misconduct or neglect of duty which would have rendered the person liable to be reprimanded, reduced in rank, retired, dismissed or punished in some other manner by the Government or the former Authority or any other person acting under its authority or direction or otherwise, as if this Act had not been enacted.
