"content": "Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I beg to give notice of the following Motion:- THAT aware that the Marriage Act 2014 was assented to by His Excellency the President on 29th April 2014 and commenced on the 20th May 2014; noting that the Act was by and large an amalgamation of the previous Acts, thus amendments relating to regulations were minimal in effect; deeply concerned that there are only 12 offices of the Registrar of Marriages in the whole country, making it difficult for hopefuls to issue notices of marriages; mindful that the upward revision of the marriage certificate acquisition fee is not affordable by many Kenyans, thus inhibiting them from registering marriages as envisaged by the new Act, this House urges the Government to review the procedure and cost of marriage registration and to decentralise the offices of the Registrar of Marriages to a all sub-counties, so as to reduce bureaucracy and enhance accessibility."
