(3) A preliminary inquiry committee appointed under paragraph (2) shall consist of not fewer than 3 or more than 5 persons.
(4) The complaint shall be communicated in writing to the employee who shall be required to submit a written explanation within 7 working days of the receipt of the communication or such further period as the preliminary inquiry committee may allow.
(5) If after considering the explanation submitted by the employee under paragraph (4) the preliminary inquiry committee is of the opinion that the subject of the complaint warrants proceedings under these Regulations with a view to the dismissal or reduction in rank of the employee, the preliminary inquiry committee shall forthwith report the matter to the Staff Disciplinary Committee.
(6) If the preliminary inquiry committee is of the opinion that the subject of the complaint is not serious enough to warrant proceedings under these Regulations with a view to the dismissal or reduction in rank of the employee, the preliminary inquiry committee may cause an investigation to be made into the matter in such manner as it thinks fit.
(7) In any investigation made under paragraph (6) the preliminary inquiry committee shall give the employee who is under investigation a reasonable opportunity to reply to the allegation made against him.

(a)
order that any increment due to the employee be stopped or deferred for a period not exceeding one year;
(b)
impose a fine not exceeding one week’s emoluments of the employee or $100, whichever is the less; or
