Dispute Resolution
Sovereign power belongs to the people of Kenya and is delegated under Article 1(3)(c) of the Constitution to both the Judiciary and independent tribunals. Aluochier Dispute Resolution constitutes and administers those independent tribunals — delivering justice that is expeditious, lawful, and constitutionally disciplined.

from the Constitution
Grounded in the Sovereign Authority of the People
"Every person has the right to have any dispute that can be resolved by the application of law decided in a fair and public hearing before a court or, if appropriate, another independent and impartial tribunal or body."
Article 50(1) — Constitution of Kenya, 2010Independent Tribunals as Constitutional Actors
Sovereign power belongs to the people and is delegated to courts and independent tribunals alike. An Aluochier Dispute Resolution Tribunal is an independent tribunal within the meaning of Article 1(3)(c)(ii).
Jurisdiction Without Consent
Just as a person does not require the agreement of an opposing party before commencing court proceedings, no such agreement is required before invoking Aluochier Dispute Resolution's adjudicative jurisdiction.
The Constitutional Standard
Every person has the right to administrative action that is expeditious, efficient, lawful, reasonable, and procedurally fair. All proceedings administered by Aluochier Dispute Resolution are administrative actions within the meaning of Article 47.
Justice Without Delay
Article 159(2)(b) requires that justice not be delayed. Aluochier Dispute Resolution's institutional frameworks are a constitutional response to that structural challenge.

Kenya's courts serve an important constitutional function — but structural constraints mean that many disputes face years of delay before resolution. Aluochier Dispute Resolution exists precisely because Article 159(2)(b) of the Constitution requires that justice not be delayed, and because Article 50(1) gives every person the right to have disputes resolved before another independent and impartial tribunal or body.
Unlike informal or unstructured ADR, proceedings administered by Aluochier Dispute Resolution carry the full weight of constitutional authority — Determinations and Certificates of Settlement are administrative actions under Article 47, subject to the Fair Administrative Action Act, and enforceable through the High Court where necessary.
The Institutional Interested Party architecture — unique to the Aluochier frameworks — binds banks, land registries, company registrars, insurance companies, and other compliance-required institutions in the proceedings before a Determination is issued.
