ADR Talk Series; IBA Guidelines on Conflict of Interest in Arbitration

The Branch had a virtual ADR Talk on the new International Bar Association Guidelines on Conflict of Interest in Arbitration that came into force in February 2024. The talk was about the key details of what these guidelines provide and mean in navigating conflict of interest in Arbitration.


The IBA Guidelines on Conflict of Interest in International Arbitration are a valuable resource for ensuring fairness and impartiality in the arbitration process.

These guidelines provide a framework for identifying and addressing potential conflicts of interest that may arise among arbitrators, parties, and counsel. By adhering to these guidelines, we can uphold the integrity of the arbitration process and promote trust in the outcome.


The talk was led by Jackie Oyuyo Githinji Partner at Umsizi LLP and Chairperson Nairobi Centre for International Arbitration (NCIA) and Wachia Kilei moderated by William Githara FCIArb and Partner at Githara & Associates.

ROUNDTABLE REPORT: Alternative Dispute Resolution for Small and Medium Enterprises in Kenya

1. Background and Context  Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) form the backbone of Kenya’s economy,  contributing approximately 33% of GDP and employing over 80% of the workforce outside  the agricultural sector. Despite this significance, SMEs remain disproportionately exposed  to commercial disputes that are costly, protracted, and frequently unresolved through  formal judicial channels.  The Chartered Institute of Arbitrators (Ciarb) Kenya Branch convened a multi-stakeholder  roundtable to interrogate the landscape of dispute resolution for SMEs, assess the efficacy  of existing mechanisms, and identify entry points for scalable Alternative Dispute  Resolution (ADR) interventions. The roundtable convened representatives from the Micro  and Small Enterprise Authority (MSEA), the Judiciary, the Kenya National Chamber of  Commerce and Industry (KNCCI), the financial sector, the insurance industry, and the  youth entrepreneurship ecosystem.  This report summarises the deliberations and perspectives presented by each  stakeholder group, and distills shared conclusions, identified gaps, and proposed areas of  partnership.  2. Micro and Small Enterprise Authority (MSEA) — Perspective  Presenters: Maureen Gachogo- Registrar.                       :Agnes Thiong’o- Senior legal officer.  2.1 Nature and Typology of Disputes in the SME Sector  MSEA’s frontline engagement with the SME ecosystem reveals that disputes within this  sector are diverse in character and frequently multi-layered. The Authority identified three  principal categories of disputes commonly encountered:  •Governance disputes: These arise within SME structures, particularly cooperatives,  chamas, and registered business associations, where disagreements over  leadership, profit-sharing, decision-making authority, and member obligations  create internal fractures. Such disputes, if unresolved, often result in enterprise  dissolution or significant productive loss.  •Resource disputes – Land use: A recurring category of disputes involves access to  and use of land for business operations. These disputes frequently involve
