Article 23 of the Saudi Public Prosecution Members Regulation

Article 23 gives the Authority's council a regulatory power over three matters:

1. Setting the duties of the Authority's members.
2. Setting the acts prohibited to them.
3. Issuing the rules and procedures for inspecting their work, and the procedures for evaluating members' performance.

This article does not state the duties or prohibitions itself, but refers their determination to the council. So what is prohibited to a member cannot be known from this text, and reference is made to what the Authority's council issues.

The article is linked to Article 22, which regulates notifying the member of the inspection report and the rating of his competence, his right to object within thirty days, the referral of the objection to the Authority's council within fifteen days, and the council's decision on the objection being final. The rules the council issues under this article regulate the inspection that produces the report.

It is followed by Article 24, which imposes a specific duty by the text of the Regulation, namely that the member reside in the town where his workplace is located, with temporary residence in a nearby town permitted in exceptional circumstances.

A person accused of breaching a duty or committing a prohibited act may consult a lawyer specializing in administrative cases (the Board of Grievances) to learn the rules the council has issued on this.
