As the business space in Kenya grapples with tensions from various political unrest, the Women in Alternative Dispute Resolution (WADR) has issued an urgent call for the nation to embrace peaceful conflict resolution mechanisms to safeguard the country's social and economic fabric.

Speaking at a press conference in Nairobi, WADR representatives, joined by international peace experts, warned that continued conflict threatens to erode hard-won gains in governance, entrepreneurship, innovation, and the rule of law.
