    "content": "Hon. Speaker, most of the thoughts that we had on the Bill have already been put together by the Committee on Justice and Legal Affairs, in which I sit. I would really not be repeating them but I wanted to make some proposals in terms of how to make this Bill better. There is need to provide for the burden of proof and standard of proof in domestic violence cases. Of course, the current Bill, in its draft format, does not speak to this aspect. Particularly in the county where the Vice-Chairperson of my Committee comes from, women have been battering men. We always see them on television, but you never see any conviction. This is something that hon. Alice Wahome will tell you. The reason is very simple. You know, if we are to require men to go and confirm that they have been beaten, Nyasaye achiel, they will not do."
