        the salary, or a salary within the range of salary, that the
        Managing Director determines to be appropriate to his duties.

(4) The Managing Director may, with the consent of an officer who holds a
position in the Service, declare, by instrument in writing, that the officer
shall, on a date specified in the instrument, become an unattached officer
and, if the Managing Director does so, the position so held by the officer

undergone a medical examination approved by the Managing Director, as to the
health and physical fitness of the person.

(8) Unless the Managing Director, in any particular case, directs that the
