“ If an officer has been convicted on a criminal charge the Chief Executive may, upon a consideration of the proceedings of the court on such charge, inflict such punishment upon the officer as may seem to him to be just, without any further proceedings. ”
Tung Chee-hwa, Public Service (1997)
“ The Chief Executive may interdict an officer from the exercise of powers and functions of his office if— (a) proceedings have been, or are to be, taken against him under section 10; or (b) criminal proceedings have been, or are likely to be, instituted against him; or (c) investigation of his conduct is being undertaken and it is contrary to the public interest for him to continue to exercise the powers and functions of his office. ”
Tung Chee-hwa, Public Service (1997)
“ An officer acquitted of a criminal charge shall not be punished in respect of any charges upon which he has been acquitted, but he may nevertheless be punished on any other charges arising out of his conduct in the matter which do not raise substantially the same issues as those on which he has been acquitted and the appropriate proceedings may be taken for the purpose. ”
