    "content": "With regard to domestic violence, hardly a day passes without a spouse killing another or fighting and causing grievous harm to the other. Parents are killing their children and later committing suicide. The latest figures for this year alone show that over 100 Kenyans have died in their homes due to domestic violence. There is a lady in Machakos who had her hands chopped off by the husband last year because they had a problem of not having a baby. It was a case that was spoken about all over. This girl lost her hands at a very young age. We had another case in Makueni. A lady had a problem. She had a quarrel with her husband and the man decided to chop off her two hands and one leg. That lady is maimed. She is completely disabled. Last month, I also found out about another lady aged 65 years, who hanged herself. You find that somebody could be suffering from depression and because of lack of counselling services, the person decides to kill himself or herself. What are we, as leaders in this House and as a society, doing? What I want to put across here is that crime level is escalating because of drug and substance abuse, societal frustrations and lack of employment. People feel that they cannot cope with the current situation and they start doing very bad things. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposes only.
