(1) The office of a member of the Council shall become vacant if:
(a) he resigns as a member of the Council by notice in writing under his hand addressed to the Minister; or
(b) the Minister subject to the approval of the President, is satisfied that it is not in the interest of the Agency for the person appointed to continue in office and notifies the member in writing to that effect.
