(1) The offices specified in the Schedule to this Decree being offices to which persons are appointed in a civil capacity under section 9 of the Armed Forces Act, 1962 (Act 105) shall be deemed to be pensionable offices and accordingly the provisions of the Pensions Ordinance (Cap 30) shall apply to such offices as if they were offices declared to be pensionable offices in accordance with section 2 of the said pensions Ordinance (Cap 30).

(2) The salaries or salary ranges attached to the said offices are as shown in the second column of the Schedule to this Decree.[As substituted by the Armed Forces Pensions (Civilian Employees) (Amendment) Decree, 1977 (SMCD 106), s.(a)]

(1) Subject to the provisions of the Pensions Ordinance (Cap.30) any period of public service in a civil capacity immediately preceding the coming into effect of this Decree shall be taken into account as qualifying service or as pensionable service:

Provided that no such period shall be so taken into account if—

(a) it relates to the service of any person who at the date of the coming into effect of this Decree has ceased to be employed in a civil capacity under section 9 of the Armed Forces Act, 1962 (Act 105), or

(b) it relates to the service of any person in an office which is not specified in the Schedule to this Decree.[As re-numbered by the Armed Forces Pensions (Civilian Employees) (Amendment) Decree, 1973 (NRCD 144), s.(1)(a)]

(2) Without prejudice to sub-paragraph (1) of this paragraph, any period of military service with the Ghana Army, Air Force or Navy, preceding the appointment to any office specified in the Schedule to this Decree, where the interval between the end of the military service and such appointment does not exceed five years, shall be taken into account as qualifying service or as pensionable service:

Provided that where a person to whom this sub-paragraph applies has been paid service gratuity in respect of the period of his military service, such period shall not be taken into account as qualifying service or as pensionable service, unless he refunds the amount of that gratuity to the Government.[As inserted by the Armed Forces Pensions (Civilian Employees) (Amendment) Decree, 1973 (NRCD 144), s.(1)(b)]

Section 3—Meaning of "Pension in Respect of Other Public Service".

The expression "pension in respect of other public service" in section 10 of the Pensions Ordinance (Cap. 30) (which section limits the maximum pension payable to any person from public funds)  shall include a pension granted under the Military Pensions Ordinance, 1954 (No. 16).
