Regulation 8

If in any case the chief executive officer considers that the public interest requires a junior officer to cease to exercise the powers and functions of his office or be suspended from his work immediately, the chief executive officer may interdict the junior officer from the exercise of the powers and functions of his office or suspend him from his work if criminal proceedings or proceedings for his dismissal or reduction in rank are being contemplated.

Subject to regulation 11(1), a junior officer who has been interdicted or suspended from his work may be allowed to receive such portion of the emoluments of his office for such period during the period of interdiction or suspension as the chief executive officer shall think fit, or the chief executive officer may order the withholding of his total emoluments.

If the proceedings against a junior officer do not result in the dismissal or other punishment of the junior officer, he shall be entitled to the full amount of the emoluments which he would have received had he not been interdicted or suspended.

If the punishment is other than dismissal, the junior officer may be refunded such portion of the emoluments withheld as a result of his interdiction or suspension, as the chief executive officer shall think fit.
