    "content": "(1A) The members nominated under subsection (1)(a) shall equitably represent the types of disabilities within the country. (1B) The Council may co-opt not more than two members to sit in the Council, whose knowledge and skills are found necessary for the performance of the functions of the Council, and who shall have no right to vote. (1C)A member co-opted under section subsection (1B) shall serve for a specified period as may be determined by the Council. Mr. Temporary Chairman, Sir, the purpose of this amendment is to reconstitute the National Council of Persons With Disabilities. When fully constituted, the Council will comprise 22 members mostly drawn from the national Government institutions. This amendment, therefore, seeks to reduce the number of members of the Council from 22 to seven. Secondly, it ensures that the membership of the Council equitably represents the various disabilities within the country. Thirdly, it ensures that persons co-opted into the Council would add value to the operations of the Council and such persons do not become permanent members of the Council."
