Under Article 159 (2)(c) of the Constitution of Kenya, mediation under ADR is recognized as a mechanism of resolving disputes in Kenya. The Judiciary of Kenya, under the Court-Annexed Mediation Scheme, commenced its pilot project on 4th April, 2016 in Nairobi. The Scheme has since been rolled out. The Mediation Accreditation Committee (M.A.C.) which is vested with accreditation authority maintains a list of accredited mediators. For the scheme to work, the Judiciary requires not less than Two Hundred trained mediators. The training threshold is the five day – 40 hour mediation Course, equivalent to our Module 1.
