Courts
continue
to
use
ADR
as
a
compulsory
initial
step
in
the
resolution
of
commercial
disputes.
29.5
percent
of
Respondents
were
of
the
opinion
that
judgments
handed
over
in
the
courts
were
not
fair
(Figure
16).
There
is
a
perception
among
Respondents
that
judgments
favour
the
rich
or
those
with
“connections”
to
judges.
The
Judicial
Service,
in
an
attempt
to
promote
confidence
in
the
public
in
the
judicial
system
has
established
a
Judicial
Complaints
Unit,
headed
by
a
retired
Supreme
Court
Judge
has
been
established
in
order
to
address
public
complaints.
The
Judicial
Service
promoted
the
sitting
of
the
courts
on
Saturdays
to
address
the
huge
backlog
of
unsettled
cases
in
the
law
courts.

CHRAJ’s
capacity
to
execute
its
mandate
Though
budgetary
allocations
to
CHRAJ
have
increased
substantially,
actual
disbursements
have
remained
low.
This
is
impeding
the
capacity
of
CHRAJ
to
effectively
execute
its
mandate.
The
constitutional
provision
(Article
218
of
the
1992
Constitution)
which
limits
CHRAJ
to
investigating
complaints
of
human
rights
abuses,
administrative
justice
and
alleged
corrupt
practices
of
public
officials
but
not
to
prosecute
has
not
been
reviewed.
