to share with any parties interested especially the NPRC Commissioners and its Secretariat. 4: Conclusion HZT acknowledges the NPRC Bill as a necessary step towards reconciliation and national healing. However after consultation with our constituents across the length and breadth of Zimbabwe we are inclined to reject the Bill in its current form and call upon all stakeholders to reconsider more importantly issues around the independence of the NPRC; the protection of victims and witnesses’ interests; and the guarantees to decentralise the work of the NPRC to remote areas in Zimbabwe to ensure every Zimbabwean interested is reached. Most important the NPRC will have to acknowledge the uniqueness of Zimbabwe’s traditional justice mechanisms and how they can be used officially at a national level as a tool to assist with reconciliation. HZT will therefore; continue to work with all stakeholders in ensuring the realisation of an acceptable NPRC Bill in order to ensure that peacebuilding and national reconciliation efforts meet expectations of the people of Zimbabwe as enshrined in the Constitution of the country. -End- 11
