dangerous this man was they later decided to drop the case. i am so angry at this peter arkell system where men shield other men and which doesn't protect women but the government says it is taking the matter seriously it's been holding weeks long consultations with victims as a say sions across the country and it's working on a new law to better protect women against domestic violence. i make took part in the country talks and course the measure is a good start but she says more needs to be done and that one crucial point is missing from the new legislation the need more coffee with. foremost it's really important the police get psychological training they need to come down from their patriarchal and macho pedestal and really listen to women who are asking for help. if

a woman says she feels threatened they must take the necessary measures to protect her. but we know there are many women who went to the police asking for help but were turned away and now they're dead. she still hopes the government but change the law to include this so that at least some women will be saved and their families be spent the suffering she now has to endure. in a move designed to protect jobs working a fast so has taken drastic measures sugar and cooking oil can no longer be imported but now these essential staples are running short. here in bonn fora in western kenya fast so only 20 employees are left here making sugar and production will soon grind to a halt and the reason for the slowdown there's no storage space left for domestic sugar the state run company isn't able to sell it because imported sugar is cheaper
