PGO 01(8) must be construed as imposing two elements: serious pecuniary embarrassment arising from financial imprudence and resultant impairment of efficiency; proof of the first shifts the evidential burden to the officer to rebut impairment but does not create an irrebuttable presumption; the Disciplinary Tribunal erred by treating impairment as conclusively presumed and its primary decision was quashed.
