    "content": "Lastly, the proposal regarding Clause 59D sounds very interesting. I hope that hon. Nyokabi is listening. In my view, this amendment is draconian. It seeks to change the entire criminal justice system in this country. The Criminal Procedure Code is very clear. The burden of proof rests with the state. It is not discharged until the prosecutor proves otherwise. We are seeking to amend the Criminal Procedure Code without stating so in this particular clause. I am a little bit unprepared to accept this amendment because its passage will change the Criminal Procedure Code. Therefore, I propose that in Clause 59D we remove the words “whether criminal or civil”, and retain the words “in any civil proceedings under this Act” and delete the word “criminal” to avoid going against the Criminal Procedure Code. I have a seconder on this matter."
