• 26 Nov 2019 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, Sen. (Prof.) Kamar’s passion in improving the lives of PwDs cannot go unnoticed. Sen. (Prof.) Kamar employed a secretary who was deaf.

I wish to bring to the attention of this honourable House and all ... view

A mediation outcome has a report that you can file in court like for the court annexed mediation, then it is filed back to the courts; or where there are just two parties, they all countersign and say this is the agreement we have come up with. A conciliator on the other ... view

• 19 Nov 2019 in Senate: No. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. I would have loved to hear you speak to this Bill. As Sen. Wetangula has said, we need to create awareness. Most people do not remember that conciliators, mediators and traditional dispute resolvers do not need to be lawyers. When lawyers speak to these issues, they do so with such authority because they understand the law more than we do. I am a practicing arbitrator, and I am not a lawyer. I am an architect. The beauty of alternative dispute resolution is that the practitioner is drawn from an industry or trade that he or ... view
• 19 Nov 2019 in Senate: expert or understands a certain trade, it is easy for them to handle the issues because they understand the nature of the people. A lot of time, lawyers complicate issues. This is because every time there is a dispute, the first person people run to is their lawyers. If this Bill is passed, there is a clause that mandates lawyers that they must first advise parties. If it is not a criminal issue or the issues that cannot be tackled under this Bill, they must advice their clients to first try conciliation and mediation. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, this is ... view
