Natural Resource Management – 2008

In 2008, the Ministry of Justice and Legal Affairs drafted the Tribal Land Dispute Resolution Panels Bill, which aimed to reform and replace the current system of dealing with land disputes which comprised chiefs, local courts, customary lands appeal courts, and the high court. The bill proposes the establishment of local bodies of local chiefs and other tribal leaders to hear disputes and an administrative body to provide support.^[1] However, the bill was not introduced to parliament during this year.
