"content": "Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I guess the big question that we must ask ourselves is whether Africa had a system of settling disputes before the Western style of judicial discussion and determination was imposed on us. I have said it before, that Africa is a collection of many States which are not necessarily nations. We find nations cutting across different states. For example, you will find that the Maasai will cut across Tanzania and Kenya; or the Somali, who cut across the countries we call Somalia, Somaliland and Kenya. All these had their traditional means of dealing with disputes. The Luos from Egypt, along the Nile all the way down to Kenya, had means of resolving issues in a traditional manner. We should not allow those practices to die."
