    "content": "“(6) Whenever a vacancy occurs in the Commission, the Commission shall notify the Cabinet Secretary at once, who shall, as soon as reasonably practical, initiate the process of filling the vacancy in accordance with section 28 of this Act”. Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, there was an omission or a mistake. This is because they are saying that these appointments will be made by the Council. It should not be by the Council, but by the selection panel. We are just replacing the word “Council” with “selection panel”. It will then read thus: “In selecting persons for appointment as chairperson and members of the Commission, the selection panel shall ensure that equal opportunities are accorded to persons with disability and that not more than two-thirds of the members of the Commission are of the same gender.” In subclause (5) it says that we delete the expression “Section 13(1)” and substitute therefor the expression “Section 14(1)”. That was basically an error because 13(1) as stipulated here has no reference whatsoever to how one can cease office. It can only be under 14(1). So, that was another error."
