s 30 Termination of service on grounds of public interest
(1) Where the Commission finds or where representations are made to the Commission that it is desirable that the service of an employee be terminated in the public interest, the Commission may call for a full report from the superior officer of the employee which shall contain particulars relating to the work and conduct of the employee. (2) If, after considering the report received under subsection (1), the Commission is satisfied that having regard to the conditions of service, the usefulness of the employee, the work and conduct of the employee and all the other circumstances of the case, it is desirable in the public interest so to do, the Commission may terminate the service of the employee with effect from such date as the Commission shall specify. (3) It shall be lawful for the appropriate disciplinary committee to recommend to the Commission that the service of an employee be terminated in the public interest, even though disciplinary proceedings have not been carried out under this Act, and the Commission may then terminate the service of the employee. (4) Notwithstanding anything in this Act and any other law to the contrary, in terminating the service of an employee in the public interest under this section, the employee may not be given an opportunity to be heard and an employee whose service has been terminated in the public interest under this section shall not be regarded as having been dismissed, regardless of whether the termination of service of the employee involved an element of punishment or was connected with conduct in relation to his office which the Commission regards as unsatisfactory or blameworthy.
