Isaac Aluochier S.Arb | S.Adj | Arbitral Fellow | CPM Chief Adjudicator & President of Independent Tribunals ★ Founding Member |
Tier B | AITAR | AISTAR (Succession) | AIETAR (Electoral) | International Arbitration | Rongo, Migori County | Founding (2026) |
Note: The Chief Adjudicator is a Tier B Roster member on the same terms as all other members. When sitting as a primary Tribunal member, his Determinations and Awards are subject to Supervisory Review Tribunal (SRT) proceedings under AITAR 2026 Rules 54A–59 on the same basis as any other Tribunal member. This mirrors the position of the Chief Justice of Kenya, who sits and votes as a judge of the Supreme Court while also holding the office of Chief Justice.

All fees exclude VAT (16% where applicable). Annual Roster fees are deducted automatically from your QAR; waived if you receive no appointments in a year.
First review of applications: 15 August 2026. Apply by then to be considered for early appointments in Q4 2026 / Q1 2027. Recruitment continues after this date.
Q: How many appointments will I get?
We cannot guarantee a specific number. However, demand is real: millions of dormant estates (AISTAR), backlogged land/commercial cases (AITAR), and election cycles (AIETAR). Early members may receive 2 to 5 appointments in the first year. Annual fee waived if you receive zero appointments.
Q: What if I receive zero appointments in a year?
Your annual Roster fee is automatically waived; you pay nothing for that year. You remain on the Roster.
Q: Is training recognised by my professional body (LSK, ICPSK, etc.)?
We provide CPD certificates. Recognition is subject to each body's policies. We are engaging with professional bodies, but you should confirm directly.
Q: What is the Quality Assurance Retention (QAR)?
20% of your professional fee is held for 42 days after your Determination becomes final. If no review is filed, it is released to you. If a review is filed, it is held pending outcome. It is deferred payment; not a penalty.
Q: Can I join without a university degree?
Yes. We assess competence, not credentials. You may qualify through training or direct entry.
Q: How long does training take?
Self paced. Most candidates complete Tier I in 3 to 6 months part time.
Q: Why is the ISA currently available only for Tier I, the AISTAR Specialist Supplement, and ARP Registration?
The ISA is structured around earning predictability. Each of these three qualifications creates a relatively direct path from completion to paid appointments or representation fees: Tier I qualifies a member for general AITAR proceedings; the AISTAR Specialist Supplement opens the succession track, where backlog-driven demand is currently highest; and ARP Registration enables representative earnings immediately upon admission. Because income is realistically foreseeable in each case, the deferred repayment model is viable from the outset. We will extend ISA availability to Tier II, Tier III, and other specialist supplements as appointment volume data from the initial cohort matures and earning patterns become more predictable.
Q: What is the difference between Roster member and ARP?
Roster member = Tribunal member (decides disputes). ARP = Authorised Representative (appears on behalf of parties). You can be both, or either.
Q: What is the pecuniary jurisdiction for Tier A?
Up to KES 20,000,000 (or as specified in the Roster Policy). Tier B has unlimited jurisdiction subject to tiered PI insurance bands.
Q: Are hearings confidential?
No. Article 50(1) requires open hearings. Only limited Article 50(8) exceptions with written reasons.
Q: What are the PI insurance requirements for Tier B?
Under Gazette Notices 11 & 12/2026, Tier B members must maintain at least KES 1,000,000 coverage (Band 1). For matters above KES 5M, higher bands apply. See the gazette notice for details.
