(3) Where any officer is detailed for duty with the Authority, such officer shall, during the time in which such direction has effect in relation to him or her, be under the administrative authority and control of the Authority but shall for other intents and purposes remain and be considered and treated as a public officer.

(4) Without prejudice to the generality of the foregoing, a public officer detailed for duty as aforesaid -

(a) shall not during the time while such officer is so detailed -

(i) be precluded from applying for a transfer to a department of the Government in accordance with the terms and conditions of service attached to the appointment held by that public officer at a date on which he or she was detailed for duty; or

(ii) be so employed that the remuneration and conditions of service are less favourable than those which are attached to the appointment under the Government held by that public officer at the date he or she was detailed for duty as aforesaid or which would have become attached to such appointment, during the said period, had such officer not been detailed for duty with the Authority; and

(b) shall be entitled to have the service with the Authority considered as service with the Government for the purpose of any pension, gratuity or benefit, and of any other right or privilege to which that public officer would be entitled, and shall be liable to any liability to which he or she would be liable, but for the fact that he or she is detailed for duty with the Authority.
