The committee will choose 14 candidates out of 1,200 people registered for the selection.
“Minister of Social Affairs will submit the list of fourteen candidates to the President; he will then select seven candidates to be installed,” she explained.
In the meantime, the Deputy Governor expressed his excitement over the establishment of the KND. He expressed hope that the KND can work in synergy with Regional Disabilities Committee in Bali.
