9.0 Where does the NPRC get resources and personnel? The NPRC is going to require a variety of people to work for it as human rights experts, investigators, legal experts, researchers, therapists or social workers, translators, computer specialists, dataentry staff and security personnel, to name just a few categories. The position of Executive Secretary is critical to overall management of the daily business of the NPRC. 9.1 Financial Resources The constitution under section 322 provides that Parliament must ensure that sufcient funds are made available for all the Commissions created under it to do their work effectively. The NPRC will not be wholly dependent on the Government, for funding if the NPRC Bill clause 16 is passed in its current form. According to clause 16 of the NPRC Bill, the NPRC can receive any donations, grants or bequests made by any person or organisation or any government of any country. However, clause 16 of the NPRC Bill requires the NPRC to consult with the Minister before accepting such donations, grants or bequests. So far the NPRC has not been receiving enough funding for its activities. According to ofcial nancial records, for the 2016 nancial year the Commission was allocated $200 000. In 2017, the Commission has been allocated $1 900 000. Researchers were not able to access the reports of the NPRC to establish what they did with the allocated amount. 9.2 The NPRC secretariat personnel Section 234 of the Constitution gives the NPRC power to hire and re its own Secretariat. The NPRC has power to employ its own staff. This means that the Commission must develop its own recruitment 36
