• 13 Nov 2019 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. I rise in support of the Bill by Sen. Kasanga on ADR. This Bill could not have come at a better time. I want to congratulate the Senator for coming up with this Bill at such a time as this. Why? It is because we are living at a time that this country has been told the budget for the Judiciary may have to be reduced because of what are being called ‘austerity’ measures. view
• 13 Nov 2019 in Senate: 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 ... view
• 13 Nov 2019 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I like this Bill because in the eyes of many people, especially ordinary Kenyans, the court process is both punitive and adversarial. Every time a party takes another to court, the disputes almost always deepen instead of being resolved. The good thing about the Bill that has been brought by Sen. Kasanga is that it provides an opportunity for parties in a dispute to appear before arbitrators and dispute resolvers, who are familiar with them. These are people from the same community or village, who deal with their own issues in their own ways. view
• 13 Nov 2019 in Senate: As it has been said by other Senators before me, before the advent of the Judiciary, as it is today, our elders used to resolve disputes relating to land, family issues, property and even cases of murder. In these issues, there were always ways that were set in which our communities resolved their issues within their jurisdictions without creating more animosity. view
• 13 Nov 2019 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I wish that Senators who will contribute to this Bill will speak in support of it, so that we may do two things. One, we reduce the amount of time that cases take to be resolved in court. Two, we make dispute resolution accessible and affordable to as many Kenyans as possible. view

• 12 Nov 2019 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for this opportunity to comment on this Statement by the Senator for Wajir. The devolution dream in this country is slowly but surely becoming a nightmare, especially on account of pending bills. The law is very clear on how contracts and tenders should be issued in counties and in the national Government. There is no way that accounting officers would continue to issue tenders to business people in the counties, yet they have not ring fenced the monies for payment to those contractors once the jobs are done. Last year, this House was told that ... view

• 12 Nov 2019 in Senate: Ministries and county governments to sit before the Committee of the Whole and explain to us how they plan to deal with pending bills which are crippling people in the counties. I beg to support. view
