About this statute

This section says the Act may be cited as the Commission for Investigations Act, 1991. This section defines several terms used in the Act, including “Commission,” “Commissioner,” “the Court,” “Investigator-General,” “local authority,” “Member,” and “Secretary.” This Act applies to certain public-service and government-controlled personnel, but not to the President, and it limits the Commission’s ability to question or receive decisions of courts, judicial officers, tribunals, or matters of mercy. A Commission is established, and it can still act even if there is a vacancy or a member is absent. A person cannot be appointed as a Commissioner if they hold certain offices, and a Commissioner must leave office after three years.
