Zimbabwean non-governmental organisations (NGOs) have welcomed the withdrawal of the National Peace and Reconciliation Commission (NPRC) Bill from Parliament following MPs’ adverse report.
Both the Zimbabwe Peace Project (ZPP) and Heal Zimbabwe say the development is an opportunity for people’s concerns to be factored into the proposed law.
In a press statement, ZPP points out that, “We acknowledge the concerns raised by the Parliamentary Legal Committee (PLC) in their adverse report on the NPRC Bill; and associate ourselves with the issues raised by citizens who participated in the public hearings.”
