(1) Where under any law any person or authority has a discretion-
a) to decide whether or not any pension benefits shall be granted; or
b) to withhold, reduce in amount or suspend any such benefits that have been
granted,
those benefits shall be granted and may not be withheld, reduced in amount or
suspended unless the Public Service Commission concurs in the refusal to grant
the benefits or, as the case may be, in the decision to withhold them, reduce
them in amount or suspend them.
(2) Where the amount of any pensions benefits that may be granted to any
person is not fixed by law, the amount of the benefits to be granted to him
shall be the greatest amount for which he is eligible unless the Public Service
Commission concurs in his being granted benefits of a smaller amount.
(3) The Public Service Commission shall not concur under subsection (1) or
(2) in any action taken on the ground that any person who holds or has held the
office of judge of the Court of Appeal, judge of the High Court, Director of
Public Prosecutions or Director of Audit has been guilty of misbehavior in that
office unless he has been removed from that office by reason of such
misbehavior.
(4) Before the Public Service Commission concurs under subsection (1) or (2)
in any action taken on the ground that any person who holds or has held any
office to which, at the time of such action, section 83 of this Constitution
applies has been guilty of misbehavior in that office, the Public Service
Commission shall consult the Judicial and Legal Services Commission.
(5) In this section "pensions benefits" means any pensions, compensation,
gratuities or other like allowances for persons in respect of their service as
judges or officer of the Supreme Court or public officers or for the widows,
children, dependents or personal representatives of such person in respect of
such service.
