Murugi Mathenge has said that there were efforts to bring forth a Marriage Bill or a legal framework for families. It started all the way from 1967 when Mzee Jomo Kenyatta established a taskforce to look into the matter. The people who were there at that time tell us that it never came to fruition. About three attempts were made to bring a Bill on the Floor of the House and they were not successful."}
