The President of the Legal Aid Clinic Club, Mr. Nshizirungu Remy Philemon, presented the objectives and activities of the club. He explained that the club assists community members by raising awareness of laws and legal procedures, helping them resolve disputes amicably before they escalate to formal court proceedings, which often involve high costs and lengthy processes.
He further noted that the club prioritizes reconciliation and mediation, and in cases that require higher intervention, refers matters to competent authorities such as the Office of the Ombudsman and other relevant institutions.
