    "content": "Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for whatever wrongs that have been heaped on the IEBC rightly or wrongly, they have redeemed themselves through the elections of the LSK. At this juncture, I must congratulate the LSK Chairman-elect, who was my classmate. I believe that he will take the LSK to greater heights. I would also like to congratulate the office that was re-elected for the lofty ideas that they have. As somebody said before, litigation in this country has become very expensive. Lawyers do not come cheap. The manifesto of the current LSK Chairman and the guidelines of the office that has been elected is to set up a complex for alternative dispute resolution. I believe that it costs about Kshs1 billion only. This will turn Kenya into a world class centre of resolving disputes. I believe that in commercial matters investors are better off resolving their matters through alternative dispute resolution mechanisms like mediation, arbitration and negotiations, without recourse to strict legal processes. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, in an alternative dispute regulation mechanism, the process is confidential to the parties. Your matter is resolved within a short time as opposed to filing a suit that would take ages in court. Therefore, I wish to support the Bill. There are few people who--- I do not want to call them as “rotten”, like many people call them. I withdraw the word “rotten” but there are those who say that the legal profession is full of ambulance chasers and people who would hide information from their clientele."
