The Deputy is referring to paragraphs 9 to 11 of Department of Finance Circular 28/2009. Those provisions apply to the civil service grades of Deputy Secretary and Assistant Secretary and other analogous grades/ranks to which a scheme of performance-related awards previously applied but has been terminated. The pay of two Assistant Secretaries in my Department and of ten military officers holding the ranks of Major-General and Brigadier-General has been reduced under the provisions in question.
