With submissions closed, the Special Select Committee will consult elected MPs and seek their views on the nominees and assess the applications.
The committee will meet to interview the candidates over the course of a few days, before discussing and agreeing on the final nominations for appointment by the president as NMPs.
“The persons to be nominated by the committee shall be persons who have rendered distinguished public service, or who have brought honour to the Republic, or who have distinguished themselves in the field of arts and letters, sports, culture, the sciences, business, industry, the professions, social or community service or the labour movement,” the Office of the Clerk of Parliament said previously.
