    "content": "The other issue is that there are so many churches around the country. If you look at the procedure that qualifies one to be a minister to officiate in a marriage, you will see that there is a lacuna . Previously, all that one needed was a letterhead, which you would send to the Registrar of Marriages, pay Kshs20,000 and get a booklet with 100 certificates. Now you are required to pay Kshs25,000 and fill the certificate in triplicate, which is good. However, I would want to imagine that quite a number of couples may be duped into believing that they have done a proper marriage when in actual sense no marriage has occurred. This is because there are many churches that are mushrooming, and there is quite a number of pastors and ministers of the word of God within the confine of a Christian marriage. Some of these ministers might not be actually licensed to officiate pastors. These are some of the issues."
