SOCIETY FOR ACCREDITED AND COURT ANNEXED MEDIATORS KENYA (SACAM-K)
"Promoting Professionalism, Integrity, and Excellence in Mediation."
The Law Society of Kenya (LSK), as a statutory professional body established to uphold the rule of law, defend constitutionalism, and safeguard the administration of justice, bears a solemn duty to act with impartiality, integrity, and professionalism at all times.
It is therefore a matter of significant public concern when actions, decisions, or public pronouncements by its leadership create the perception that the institution is being utilized as an instrument of political expediency rather than as an independent guardian of the legal profession and the Constitution of Kenya.
The current trajectory of leadership within the Society raises serious questions regarding adherence to the fundamental principles of professional ethics, institutional dignity, and responsible governance. A professional body of such stature ought to focus its efforts on advancing access to justice, strengthening legal practice, promoting constitutional values, and protecting the interests of the public. Any departure from these core mandates risks diminishing public confidence in both the institution and the legal profession as a whole.
The continued hostility directed towards mediators, particularly non-advocate mediators who are lawfully recognized within Kenya's Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) framework, appears inconsistent with the spirit and letter of Article 159(2)(c) of the Constitution of Kenya, which expressly recognizes and promotes alternative forms of dispute resolution, including mediation.
The apparent attempts to undermine or marginalize mediators should not merely be viewed as a professional disagreement but as a broader challenge to constitutional principles that seek to expand access to justice and reduce barriers to dispute resolution. Such conduct may create the impression that certain actors within the legal profession are more concerned with preserving economic interests and professional monopolies than advancing the constitutional rights of Kenyan citizens.
The legal profession must remain vigilant against any practices that could be perceived as promoting exclusion, rent-seeking, or unnecessary barriers to justice. The Constitution demands that all justice sector stakeholders act in good faith, uphold constitutional supremacy, and place the public interest above personal, political, or institutional interests.
Kenyans deserve a legal system that is transparent, accountable, accessible, and faithful to constitutional values. The legal profession, including its representative institutions, must lead by example in promoting these ideals rather than engaging in actions that may undermine public confidence in the administration of justice.
The future of legal practice in Kenya must be founded upon constitutionalism, professionalism, inclusivity, and respect for all lawful actors within the justice sector. Any effort to weaken these principles ultimately weakens the rule of law itself.
The logo of the Society for Accredited and Court Annexed Mediators Kenya (SACAM-K) is a powerful symbol that reflects the organization’s identity, mission, values, and commitment to promoting peace, justice, and sustainable dispute resolution in Kenya and beyond. Every element incorporated within the logo was carefully designed to communicate the principles of mediation, cooperation, professionalism, and social harmony.
At the center of the logo is the Scale of Justice, which represents fairness, equity, balance, impartiality, and the rule of law. The scales symbolize SACAM-K’s commitment to ensuring that all parties in a dispute are treated equally and fairly without bias or discrimination. It further reflects the organization’s dedication to ethical mediation practice, justice accessibility, and balanced conflict resolution processes within communities, institutions, and the courts.
Below the scales is the Handshake Symbol, one of the strongest representations of mediation and reconciliation. The handshake signifies peace, dialogue, agreement, understanding, cooperation, and restoration of relationships between disputing parties. It demonstrates the core objective of SACAM-K, which is to encourage peaceful settlement of disputes through mediation rather than hostility or prolonged litigation.
The bold inscription “SACAM-K” positioned prominently at the center represents the official identity and recognition of the Society for Accredited and Court Annexed Mediators Kenya. It symbolizes institutional unity, collective professional strength, and the organization’s national mandate in advancing mediation and Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) mechanisms across Kenya.
The Green Circular Ring surrounding the logo symbolizes growth, harmony, renewal, stability, and sustainable peace. Green is globally associated with healing, reconciliation, hope, and prosperity. Within SACAM-K, the green color reflects the organization’s vision of nurturing peaceful coexistence, social cohesion, and long-term conflict transformation in communities and institutions.
The Gold Outer Ring symbolizes excellence, professionalism, integrity, honor, and credibility in mediation practice. Gold represents the high standards expected of accredited mediators and court annexed mediators under SACAM-K.
The White Horizontal Band across the middle of the logo represents transparency, neutrality, truth, and clarity in mediation processes. White signifies honesty, openness, and impartiality, which are essential principles in professional mediation and dispute resolution.
The Ribbon Banner placed at the lower section of the logo symbolizes recognition, achievement, dignity, and honor. It reflects SACAM-K’s appreciation of accredited mediators, court annexed mediators, peace practitioners, and ADR professionals who dedicate their service toward building peaceful societies and strengthening access to justice.
The numbers “20” and “25”, representing the year 2025, signify the founding and establishment year of SACAM-K. This demonstrates the beginning of a new era of structured mediation leadership, institutional development, and professional ADR advancement in Kenya.
The official color combination of Dark Green, Gold, Black, and White also carries deep meaning within the logo structure. Dark Green represents peace, trust, growth, and harmony. Gold signifies professionalism, excellence, and credibility. Black represents authority, strength, resilience, and institutional stability. White symbolizes neutrality, transparency, and integrity within mediation practice.
Overall, the SACAM-K logo is a complete visual identity that communicates peace, justice, dialogue, unity, professionalism, and sustainable conflict resolution. It reflects the organization’s mission of promoting mediation as an effective tool for access to justice, social transformation, reconciliation, and peaceful coexistence in Kenya and internationally.
Africa Forward Summit was so chaotic that President Kagame was stranded outside at some point. Total’s Global CEO was also blocked, and was seen yelling at security.
Some presidents & dignitaries left without speaking as things spiraled. Kenya (or France?) dropped the ball bigly

The constitutional foundation of ADR is found under:
Article 159(2)(c) of the Constitution of Kenya, 2010, which provides that:
“In exercising judicial authority, the courts and tribunals shall be guided by the following principles — alternative forms of dispute resolution including reconciliation, mediation, arbitration and traditional dispute resolution mechanisms shall be promoted…”
Therefore;-
The Constitution therefore formally recognizes the following major forms of ADR:
1. Reconciliation;
2. Mediation;
3. Arbitration; and
4. Traditional Systems of Justice;
Regards.

The main goal of a mediator under SACAM-K (Society for Accredited and Court Annexed Mediators Kenya) is to promote peaceful, fair, and efficient resolution of disputes through dialogue, understanding, and mutual agreement between conflicting parties.
A SACAM-K mediator serves as a neutral and impartial facilitator who helps individuals, families, communities, organizations, and institutions resolve conflicts without unnecessary hostility, delay, or expensive court processes.
Guided by the principles of Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) and Article 159(2)(c) of the Constitution of Kenya, mediators aim to enhance access to justice by encouraging voluntary participation, confidentiality, respect, and cooperation throughout the mediation process.
The objectives of a SACAM-K mediator include assisting disputing parties to communicate effectively, identify the root causes of conflict, and explore practical solutions acceptable to all sides.
Mediators strive to preserve relationships, restore trust, and encourage reconciliation where possible, especially in family, community, commercial, land, workplace, and civil disputes.
They also work to reduce case backlogs in courts by promoting amicable settlements outside formal litigation. In addition, SACAM-K mediators uphold professionalism, ethics, integrity, and cultural sensitivity while ensuring that agreements reached are fair, lawful, and sustainable.
Through mediation, SACAM-K seeks to build a more harmonious society by fostering peace, social cohesion, and justice for all.

Today, our Secretary General @AmbroselasoyK had the honour of representing SACAM-K during the presentation on the National Assembly Mediation Bill: Dispute Resolution Bill, 2025 before the Justice and Legal Affairs Committee (JLAC) of the National Assembly.
In his presentation, he emphasize that the core purpose of this proposed legislation is to institutionalize Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) mechanisms in Kenya.
This marks a significant step toward strengthening our justice system by embedding structured, accessible, and efficient dispute resolution pathways within the legal framework.
At the heart of this Bill is the fundamental objective of mediation—to enhance access to justice.
The legislation seeks to formally provide for mediation, conciliation, and traditional dispute resolution mechanisms, in alignment with Article 159(2)(c) of the Constitution of Kenya.
This approach not only reduces the burden on courts but also promotes timely, cost-effective, and culturally responsive resolution of disputes.
It reinforces the role of ADR as a complementary pillar of justice, ensuring that more Kenyans can resolve conflicts in a manner that is both fair and accessible.
SACAM-K remains committed to supporting the development and implementation of robust mediation frameworks that uphold the principles of justice, inclusivity, and efficiency.
