Mediation Summit underway at Strathmore University. Theme: “Banking and Mediation Leading the Way.” LIVE STREAM: youtube.com/live/1ydFRMjuA…

Since introduction of Court Annexed Mediation in the Judiciary in 2016 the CAM Taskforce has overseen the establishment of 43 Mediation Registries across the Country with an average settlement rate of 52%. Judge Fred Ochieng, Chair, CAM Taskforce #Mediationsummit2023 Strathmore University

The ADR Taskforce on Court Annexed Mediation is pleased to contribute to the Vision of the Judiciary of enhancing Access to Justice and expeditious disposal of cases through the implementation of CAM. Judge Fred Ochieng, Chair CAM Taskforce #Mediationsummit2023 Strathmore University

It must be noted that it is in the interest of both banks & individuals to have their disputes resolved in a speedy manner. Unnecessary delays in resolution of such disputes have serious impact on the business of banks and may affect their viability. Judge Fred Ochieng. Strathmore University

Above all, I hope that we will leave this Summit with renewed commitment to refer all disputes in the banking sector to mediation which has the potential of restoring & preserving the commercial relationships that the parties had prior to the dispute. CRJ Anne Amadi Strathmore University

The success of Court Annexed Mediation relies not only in such reflection but on continuous sensitization and capacity building for all stakeholders. CRJ Anne Amadi #Mediationsummit2023 Strathmore University

By incorporating Court Annexed Mediation in the resolution of disputes in the banking sector, we anticipate an increase in efficiency & access to justice within a critical sector of the economy, and a domino effect that will be felt throughout the economy. CRJ Amadi Strathmore University

In answer to the demands placed by Article 159 of the Constitution, and in line with our own vision, mission & commitment to enhance access to justice, the Judiciary has taken a proactive approach to promote Alternative Dispute Resolution by implementing mediation. CRJ Anne Amadi

By reducing the financial burden and time spent on lengthy court battles, businesses can focus on their core operations, thus promoting economic growth and development. CJ Martha Koome #Mediationsummit2023 Strathmore University

I am pleased to note that the Kenya Bankers Association has been at the forefront in promoting the use of mediation in the resolution of disputes. CJ Martha Koome #Mediationsummit2023 Strathmore University

The importance of an effective dispute resolution system cannot be understated. As a country, we must ensure that our legal system is accessible, efficient, and equitable for all. CJ Martha Koome #Mediationsummit2023 Strathmore University

Private settlement agreements have the potential to prevent further build - up of case backlog in our Judiciary as cases are resolved without first being filed in court unlike in Court Annexed Mediation where existing court cases are referred to court annexed mediation. CJ Koome

It is evident therefore that Court Annexed Mediation has contributed immensely towards reduction of case backlog and an improved business environment in the country. CJ Martha Koome #Mediationsummit2023 Strathmore University

We are keen on mainstreaming Mediation, Alternative (traditional) Justice Systems (AJS), and Arbitration as integral and legitimate part of our dispute resolution system. CJ Martha Koome #Mediationsummit2023 Strathmore University

I laud and thank the conveners of this Summit, for bringing together actors from the justice & financial services sectors to share & exchange ideas & deliberate on how to use mediation as a tool for enhancing efficiency & effectiveness of our disputes resolution system. CJ Koome
