Dispute Resolution Councils: The Issues Within Its Institutional Framework And Their Impacts On Its Efficiency And Growth

Abstract

Several challenges hinder the efficiency, performance and growth of the DRC. This paper explore the challenges that are within the legal and organizational framework of the DRCs (and police). These include the weak legal regime of the DRCs, their irrational and undefined administrative position and the absence of mandate finances. These internal weakness poses manifold challenges to them that ultimately have impacts on their function, performance and efficiency. The other comprises the missing of any formal linkage of the DRCs with the court that are major component of the criminal justice system and authorized forums of dispute resolution. These challenges obstruct the efficiency and performance of DRCs through their opposition or antagonism to the DRCs, for their various, specific reasons.
