The Selection Committee shall, within seven days of the close of the period prescribed for receipt of applications under sub-section (1), consider the applications, shortlist qualified applicants and interview the shortlisted applicants. 3. The Selection Committee shall conduct the interviews under paragraph 2 in public. 4. The Selection Committee shall, following the conclusion of the interviews under paragraph 2, nominate and forward to the President the names of three nominees for appointment to the Office of Registrar of Political Parties and the names of nine nominees for appointment to the office of Assistant Registrar. 5. The President shall, within seven days of receipt of the names of the nominees under paragraph 4, nominate one of the three persons for appointment to the Office of Registrar of Political Parties and three persons for appointment as Assistant Registrar of Political Parties and forward the names of the nominees to the National Assembly for approval. 6. The National Assembly shall, within fourteen days of the receipt of the names of the nominees under paragraph 5, consider the nominees and approve or reject the nominations. 7. Where the National Assembly approves the nominations, the Clerk of the National Assembly shall, within three days of the approval, forward the name of the approved persons to the President for appointment. 8. Where a name is forwarded to the President under paragraph 7, the President shall, within seven days of receipt of the name, by notice in the Gazette, appoint the person as Registrar of Political Parties or as Assistant Registrar of Political Parties. 9. Where the National Assembly rejects the name of a nominee, the Clerk of the National Assembly shall, within three days of the rejection, communicate the decision of the National Assembly to the President who shall submit a fresh nomination from among the persons nominated under paragraph 4. 10. If the National Assembly rejects a subsequent nomination under paragraph 9, the provisions of paragraphs 1 to 9 shall, with necessary modifications, apply to the process of nomination and approval of a new nominee. 11. For the purposes of the appointment of the Registrar and the Assistant Registrars prior to the first general elections under the Constitution, the President shall, in making a nomination or appointment under this Act, do so in consultation with the Prime Minister in accordance with the Constitution. Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, the purpose of this is to provide for the timelines within which certain activities must be conducted. I hope the Government will follow this one properly, unlike what they have done with the Constitutional Bills."
