    "content": "This Bill seeks to give an opportunity to parties in a dispute to resolve their issues without necessarily going through the formal court process. I am supporting this Bill because there are examples within the region for us to learn from. After the genocide in Rwanda, the court processes that tried to deal with parties in the disputes were clearly overwhelmed. This included the tribunals that were set up by countries from the region. The revival and activation of the Gacaca Courts in Rwanda more or less resolved the issues for the people in Rwanda. Today, Rwanda is said to be one of the most peaceful countries in this region. If those matters were left to the courts and tribunals that had been established by the then government of Rwanda and governments of the region, perhaps the lethargy that led to the genocide would still be present today."
