    "content": "he thinks that the wife is his property and therefore he have mistreat her; she becomes a beast of burden. She has to go and fetch firewood, cook in the house and fetch water. All these things, in my view, amount to elements of domestic violence because we subject her to what is beyond humanly possible. When food is not ready the man beats her up and yet the man had gone to a drinking spree. The man wants food and yet he did not leave money behind with the wife. Our men need to understand that times of beating our women are no longer there. Times have changed. A woman is equally important just like you. To our women in Nyeri and other places where we witness domestic violence against men--- Hon. Nyokabi said that men should no longer buy helmets. I think this is a bigger helmet that will protect men. They should not fear performing their duties as expected of them. We need to look at this Bill not like a way of gagging persons; rather we should look at it like a moral setting. It is like a Bible which teaches us good things. It teaches us to love our neighbours just as we love ourselves. It tells us to be submissive and patient just as Christ loved the church. So, in other words, laws are made for man so that we are able to live in a society that is of equal opportunities, privileges, protection and rights.
