THE much-delayed multi-sector reforms will be completed by September 2021, NRA deputy chairperson Liteboho Kompi has said.

THE Human Rights Commission, when it is finally set up, must be made up of people from diverse backgrounds to protect the interests of people from various backgrounds.
Non-governmental organisation (NGO) Development for Peace Education (DPE) said this in its submission to the National Reforms Authority (NRA) on the draft Human Rights Commission Bill of 2020. The draft bill seeks to repeal the Human Rights Commission Act of 2016.
Once passed, the bill will enact a new founding legislation for the Human Rights Commission.
