    "content": "(1C) The Board may, where necessary, co-opt to invite a person with specialized knowledge and skill to attend the sittings of the Board, but such person shall not have the right to vote.” (a) by deleting sub-clause (5) and substituting therefor the following new sub-clause− “(5) The function of the Appeal Board shall be to hear and determine appeals against any decision of the Director with regard to refugee status determination.” The justification is that the amendment seeks to state the composition of the Appeals Board as currently contained in the Bill. The Appeals Board may not effectively deal with matters of refugees’ status. It will also be ideal to have professionals with experience in refugees, foreign affairs, national security and immigration matters as members of the board so as to effectively handle the functions of the Refugee Status Appeals Board. The amendment also provides for the tenure of office of the board members. So, it is about the tenure of the board members. It also broadens the committee or the professionals who are going to handle refugee matters. Thank you."
