*ZHRC Statement On The Resignation Of Four Commissioners {Full Text}* *Follow Pindula on WhatsApp for daily new updates* https://whatsapp.com/channel/0029Va84dngJP21B2nWeyM3v?cf > The Zimbabwe Human Rights Commission (ZHRC) wishes to notify all its valued partners and stakeholders of the retirement of four Commissioners namely: Commissioners (Dr) Ellen Sithole (former Deputy Chairperson), Dr Joseph Kurebwa, Kwanele M. Jirira and Japhet Ndabeni-Ncube, with effect from the 7th May 2020. > Before the retirement of the four Commissioners, there was already a vacancy after the resignation of Commissioner Carrol T. Khombe on the 3oth of October 2018. > The ZHRC is left with only four Commissioners, out of a full complement of nine Commissioners. The remaining four Commissioners do not constitute a quorum, which is supposed to be five. > This means that as of now the ZHRC cannot hold Commission meetings for purposes of making policy resolutions or adoption of monitoring and investigation reports. > This handicap prevents the dissemination of ‘unadopted’ Commission reports which are being produced for activities that are currently taking place. > The reports which are being produced now are filed of record and will only be adopted by the Commission after new Commissioners have been appointed. > In the meantime, the Commission can only share statements which provide highlights of the activities being carried out. > Processes for recruitment of new Commissioners are currently underway. Parliament advertised the positions but interviews have not yet been conducted due to disruption of Parliament business by the national lockdown. > With the resumption of operations by Parliament, it is our hope that new Commissioners will be appointed without delay. _If you found this article useful_ *Please support Pindula by forwarding to friends and groups*
