    "content": "Thank you. I am happy and grateful that so many people have worked hard to push this Bill to this level. I would especially thank the members of the Kenya Women Parliamentary Association (KEWOPA) and the Kenya Human Rights Caucus who have put their minds and time into it to make sure that this Bill that is important for our families has come through. I wish that as we go to the regulations, the struggle is not complete and that the regulations that will be made will grant us the things that we were not able to secure in the primary Bill. This is so that we get them in the regulations especially the temporary shelters and safe houses which are distinct and different from what is provided for under the Victims Protection Act and the Witness Protection Bill. The Protection Against Domestic Violence Bill was asking for other shelter separately and access to professional services necessary such as counselling, psycho-social support and legal services. Nevertheless we have made a great step and I want to thank everybody who contributed to this. God bless Kenya."
