Women’s participation in arbitration should not be viewed merely as a question of representation. It is a question of Africa’s competitiveness.

As African economies become increasingly complex, the disputes arising from infrastructure, energy, mining, finance, technology, climate finance and ESG require diverse expertise, sound judgment and multidisciplinary thinking. Greater participation of women strengthens Africa’s intellectual capital, enriches decision-making, challenges groupthink, strengthens institutional leadership and enhances confidence in the legitimacy of arbitral processes.

The future of African arbitration will not be determined solely by modern laws or favourable geography. It will be shaped by the quality of our institutions, the depth of our talent and the confidence our dispute resolution systems inspire. Fully harnessing the expertise and leadership of women is therefore not simply an inclusion objective. It is a strategic investment in positioning Africa as a trusted and competitive global arbitration destination.

I am honored to have been part of the panel 1 on ‘Women shaping the future of ADR’ alongside a representation of stong leaders during the Dar Arbitration Week which was quite insightful.

The conversations at the 4th Alternative Justice Systems (AJS) Conference in Embu reaffirmed an important truth: access to justice becomes more meaningful when it is people-centred, affordable, and responsive to the realities of those it serves. Alternative Justice Systems and Alternative Dispute Resolution are not competing pathways, but complementary approaches united by a common purpose of delivering timely and effective justice. Their continued growth depends on deeper collaboration among courts, mediators, arbitrators, community leaders, and policymakers.

I was particularly encouraged by the remarkable progress made in advancing the AJS agenda in Kenya under the leadership of Hon. Justice Prof. Joel Ngugi and his team. As we reflect on the discussions and shared commitments from this year’s conference, I remain convinced that the future of justice lies in collaboration, innovation, and strengthening mechanisms that bring justice closer to the people.

This powerful insight reminds us that justice systems are strongest when they remain responsive to the communities they serve. Trust, legitimacy, and lasting impact are built when legal processes align with societal realities and aspirations.

As we prepare for the 4th Annual AJS Conference 2026 at the University of Embu (16th–19th June 2026), we look forward to engaging in meaningful conversations on access to justice, dispute resolution, and the future of legal systems in Africa. We hope to see you there.

Some rooms carry the weight of centuries. Standing in the library of the Inner Temple surrounded by walls of legal texts, and the quiet authority of a profession that has shaped the world’s understanding of justice, I was reminded of why this work matters.

London International Disputes Week 2026 brought together some of the most formidable minds in international arbitration and dispute resolution, under a theme that felt less like a conference title and more like a call to the profession:
Tradition. Trust. Transformation.

Three words that capture exactly where dispute resolution stands today — honouring the foundations that gave the field its credibility, while confronting the questions that will define its next chapter. From crypto arbitration to the evolving role of emerging market practitioners, the conversations in London this week were sharp, honest, and necessary.

It was a privilege to engage with the Chair of the Nairobi Centre for International Arbitration (NCIA); Rina Chatrah and fellow practitioners at the highest level, building the kind of connections that move the needle not just for our firms, but for the development of dispute resolution across Africa and beyond.

We are not observers of this transformation. We are part of it.

I am pleased to share a milestone that strengthens our collective commitment to advancing Alternative Dispute Resolution in Kenya.

We have formalised a Memorandum of Understanding between CIArb Kenya Branch and the Kenya School of Government (KSG) to deepen collaboration in ADR training, research, and public sector capacity building.

The signing was witnessed alongside the Director General of KSG, Prof. Nuru Mohamed, marking a shared commitment to strengthening institutional capacity and professional excellence in dispute resolution.

This partnership is more than a formal agreement. It reflects a deliberate step toward:
• Expanding ADR knowledge and practice
• Strengthening public sector dispute resolution capacity
• Promoting research-driven policy and training
• Building a more efficient and modern justice ecosystem

Together, we continue to shape a future where disputes are resolved more effectively, constructively, and professionally.

Over the next two days, distinguished diplomats, scholars, researchers, and policy practitioners are coming together for a timely and thought-provoking Research Caucus on “From Rule Taker to Rule Maker: Repositioning Kenya’s Diplomacy in a Shifting Global Order.” The discussions explores the future of Kenya’s foreign policy positioning, strategic diplomacy, research-driven governance, and the importance of evidence-based engagement in an increasingly complex global landscape.

The sessions were rich, insightful, and deeply engaging, and is bringing together brilliant minds who are assisting to shaping stronger national and regional policy frameworks through research, innovation, and strategic coordination.

A sincere thank you to everyone who shared their expertise throughout the caucus in today’s sessions.

Three days. Rome. A room full of the world’s best dispute resolution minds. 🇮🇹

The DRBF International Conference marked 30 years of the Dispute Resolution Board Foundation — and it did not disappoint.

I left with sharper thinking, stronger connections, and a deeper appreciation for the role that dispute boards play in protecting projects, preserving relationships, and preventing conflict before it escalates.

This is the future of dispute resolution. And Africa belongs in that conversation. 🌍

At the Johannesburg Arbitration Week in Sandton - a privilege to engage with the former President of Mozambique and CEO of AFSA; H.E. Mr. Joaquim Chissano.

A true statesman and a classic mediator; embodying the art of dialogue, patience, and resolution.

I am deeply grateful for the opportunity to serve as one of the moderators of the 30th Annual Conference of the Institute of Chartered Secretaries (ICS) held last week in Mombasa.

This year’s conference was a remarkable success; not only in its intellectual depth, but in the seamless organization and ex*****on that made every session purposeful and engaging. My sincere appreciation goes to the organizing committee and secretariat for their dedication and commitment to excellence.

I also extend heartfelt thanks to our distinguished speakers, whose insights and thought leadership enriched the conversations and challenged us to think more critically about governance, leadership, and the evolving role of professionals in today’s dynamic environment.

To all delegates and participants who showed up, contributed, and engaged meaningfully throughout the week, you are what makes this community vibrant and impactful. Your presence and participation are what truly bring such a conference to life.

As we reflect on the discussions and connections forged, I am confident that the outcomes of this conference will continue to shape practice, policy, and professional standards in the days ahead.
