Now, I am saying this not because the Commission does not want to take any responsibility, because part of our job is to make recommendations and particularly the job of the Committee which Mr Tom Manthata serves on.   To make recommendations to the President for reparation and for rehabilitation of victims, but you have to understand that that process only starts at the end of the life of the Commission.  At the end of the life of the Commission we make recommendations, which is only in December.
 That then have to go to the President, it has to go 
to Parliament and that has to be debated and discussed.  We have no powers to pay out any monies or any compensation.  We can only make recommendations.  The power is in the hands of the Government.
 But this is an invitation to you by the ministry to say that if you want to proceed with this thing further maybe you should consider the courts.  Maybe you should consider and if you would perhaps want assistance on how to proceed along these lines with either the Legal Resources Centre or Legal Aid.  Maybe that is one avenue to try and see what kind of legal avenues are open to you in the interim.
 Because as I have said there is a long period between when the Commission ends and makes recommendations and now, at least a year.   So maybe that is something that we could consider.
