"content": "Hon. Speaker, this Bill is there to protect the voiceless. This Bill is there to protect those who suffer in silence and this law is there to reprimand those who break the law. I believe if we are serious citizens and good Christians in this House and country we will support this Bill. I was about to say that I do not want to support it but after looking at the amendments by the Committee, I appreciate that the Committee sat down and realised that there were some issues which needed to be amended. I believe when it comes to the Committee stage, we shall amend them and it will be appreciated that those people who suffer domestic violence mostly are not women alone. Presently and especially in the current world men are suffering in silence and in some communities we have read it and we know it. Therefore, we men here feel we need to be protected."
