XV Arnold Ochieng, Peter Keya, Ochiel Dudley, Denis Moroga, Walter Khobe, Petronella Mukaindo, Victoria Miyandazi and Moses Kipkogei for their insights, and for submitting material to ensure that the draft is up-to-date with current jurisprudence. We are truly grateful that you chose to walk this journey with the Committee and commend your commitment to efficient and effective EDR, towards ultimately promoting the rule of law and enhancing access to justice. This is in line with the Chief Justice’s Social Transformation through Access to Justice Agenda. To Dr. Victoria Miyandazi, the Committee is grateful to you for taking time to proofread and format the final draft of the Bench Book and generating what, I must say, is a stellar document. I commend Brian Onderi and Miriam Ng’ang’a for the excellent research support they provided in compiling the various drafts of the Bench Book. Thank you also to Kevin Kipchirchir, Samson Muchiri and Cedric Kadima who ensured that the case links to the digitalised version were up to date for ease of reference. I must also commend members of the Secretariat who took part in the planning and coordination of meetings and workshops and offered technical support during the process of developing this Bench Book. Your support to the Committee is truly invaluable. The development and publication of this Bench Book would not be possible without the support of our development partners, who continue to remain steadfast in their commitment to supporting the Judiciary in its efforts to enhance effective and efficient EDR and affirm its centrality in entrenching our democracy. Special mention goes to the International Foundation for Electoral Systems (IFES) and the Electoral Law and Governance Institute for Africa (ELGIA). We are appreciative of your continuous partnership and collaboration. We also laud your commitment to entrenching democracy in Kenya. BENCH BOOK ON ELECTORAL DISPUTE RESOLUTION
