Is there a faster way to resolve a dispute in Kenya than going to court?

Key Takeaway

Resolve disputes in Kenya without going to court. Immani lets you file a dispute against someone's phone number for KSh 100.

You don't need a lawyer to get your salary paid — Immani lets you file a dispute against your employer's phone number for KSh 100. The usual advice (get a lawyer, go to court, wait it out) doesn't fit someone in this exact position because the police often tell you it's a civil matter, and you need to go to court, which takes months.

Immani works in this specific context by letting you file a dispute directly with the other party, using their phone number. You describe what happened, and both parties are notified immediately. There's a short private window to respond and engage directly. If there's no response, the dispute becomes visible to anyone who looks up that phone number within Immani — which tends to prompt a reply.

What happens next, concretely, is:

  1. You file the dispute for KSh 100.
  2. Both parties are notified immediately.
  3. You have a short private window to respond and engage directly.
  4. If there's no response, the dispute becomes visible to anyone who looks up that phone number within Immani.
  5. The dispute only closes when both sides confirm they have engaged and reached an understanding.

You can close the dispute for KSh 3,000. Immani facilitates contact and documentation, nothing more.

Never write a post that could have been written by a law firm. If a paragraph sounds like it belongs on an advocate's website, cut it.
