“Various mechanisms have been put to limit the risks. Given the lengthy procedures characteristic of litigation, that there has been a growing shift from the corridors of justice to out-of-court settlements”, said Mr.Karekezi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mr. Paul Karekezi,Board Member and Africa Representative at Dispute Resolution Board Foundation,(DRBF) was speaking during the DRB Regional Conference in Nairobi,where he said for a continent of Africa to be an effective player every sector must have a dispute boards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Our work is to give parties a formal assistance before the dispute is rwached where its not binding but sometimes it helps because it has helps most of the projects are completed on time”,he reiterates .<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He added that, since the board was formed most of the projects are finalised on time because time taken to handle the dispute is short and effective within 3 months.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to DRBF most of the cases going to the (DBs) only 2 percent are reversed because of small hitches among the party members while over 90% of disputes are always successful.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
