    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, for allowing me to make comments on this very important Bill. The ADR is important because it touches on the social aspects of people. When people are living together and when families are staying together at a family, community, regional, county level and beyond the county level; there are bound to be some disputes of some nature in one way or the other. There are various ways of resolving these disputes through the process of courts. I am glad to say that one of the biggest political disputes that ever arose was the Post-Election Violence of 2007, which resulted in the Serena Team. I dare say that in that Team, we had Sen. Wetangula – who I hope will have an opportunity to speak on this matter – the late Sen. Mutula Kilonzo, Sen. Orengo, Deputy President William Samoei Ruto, hon. Musalia Mudavadi, hon. (Dr.) Sally Kosgei and hon. Martha Karua. What was the dispute? It was about the political elections, when the country was almost ablaze and the people were killing each other. It required people to sit down and settle a political dispute that will not find its way to courts. It required the normal traditional way of engaging and resolving issues, and an international arbitration and mediation to come up with a conclusion and give the nation the momentum to move forward."
