The customary laws are applicable to the extent that they should not contradict the written law. In case the two collides, then the national constitution supersedes the customary law.
In the current constitution promulgated in 2010, it has the provisions on customary law. “supremacy of this constitution” that any law, including customary law, that is inconsistent with this constitution is void to the extent of inconsistency and any act or omission in contravention of this constitution is invalid.
