Kenya Government institutions have been encouraged to embrace Dispute Resolution as litigation is not always the recommended route to resolve cases.
Speaking DRBF meeting in Nairobi, Dr. Mourice Okelo the Assistant Manager of Project Monitoring evaluation and Dispute Resolution at KenGen said that a bigger percentage of the disputed projects are resolved outside courts, a situation that has greatly contributed to the reduction of stalled projects.
He was speaking during Dispute Resolution Board meeting held Nairobi to promote the use of dispute resolution formula in all African countries.
He also said that the company stated using an outside court since 2014.
However, there might be some challenges between the company and the contractors but its always being dealt with the dispute resolution board to avoid delays.
Mourice encouraged Kenyans not to shy away from seeking the services of mediators on construction and succession matters, disagreements and petty cases as they are professionally trained to arbitrate them.
The dispute resolution board foundation (DRBF) is a non profit organization dedicated to promote avoidance and resolution of disputes and also provide assistance to the worldwide application of dispute board.
