(b) who retires in any other circumstances-

(i) he shall not be required to depart from Zambia on leave of absence pending his retirement until the expiration of a period of six months from the date upon which he was given notice requiring him to retire ;

(ii) he shall be provided with such passages and baggage facilities as an officer of similar status is entitled to under General Orders when retiring from the public service having attained the age of fifty-five years and having completed a final tour of residential service;

(iii) he shall, if the period of leave on full pensionable emolu- ments for which he is eligible is less than six months, be granted such additional leave on full pensionable emoluments as will bring the aggregate period of such leave of absence pending his retirement up to six months.

5. (1) Where an entitled officer dies and it is lawful under the provisions of the appropriate law for a gratuity to be granted to his personal representatives, there shall be granted to his personal representatives either that gratuity or a gratuity equal to the maximum gratuity that could have been granted to that officer under the pro- visions of paragraph 11 of this Schedule if he had retired under this Schedule at the date of his death, whichever is the greater:

Provided that, in the case of an officer to whom Part II of the European Officers' Pensions Regulations of Zambia applied, in respect of that proportion of the pension for which he would have been eligible, if he had retired under this Schedule at the date of his death and which is attributable to his pensionable service otherwise than in the public service the provisions of paragraph 11(1)(c) of this Schedule shall not apply and the permitted fraction referred to in that paragraph shall not be less than three-quarters.

(2) For the purposes of the proviso to sub-paragraph (1) of this paragraph the proportion of a pension which is attributable to the pensionable service of an officer otherwise than in Zambia shall be that proportion of the pension for which the officer would have been eligible if his pensionable service had been wholly in Zambia as the aggregate amount of his pensionable emoluments during his pensionable service otherwise than in Zambia bears to the aggregate amount of his pensionable emoluments throughout his pensionable service.
