It must mean there is a public good, and if there is a public good in going this direction, the cost must be looked at also so that the public good is what drives us. Therefore the issue of paying this or that fee must be looked at again. Certainly, the very fact that within a whole region there is only one centre--- The distance from Lodwar to Eldoret is probably 600 Kilometres. Who is going to waste time doing that kind of thing? If we want to get our marriages solemnized so that we begin to respect contracts from within the family, then we must look at this. That is where the public good argument also comes in. We passed many aspects of marriage in the marriage law. I hope, contrary to the views of the Member for Mbita, that this will be devolved to the counties and from counties down to the wards. This must come as close to the people as is necessary. The issue of whether or not a register can be kept accurately in this digital age – and we have a digital Government - is no longer an issue. Kenya is one of the countries with very high penetration of telephony. So, there are many ways in which this can be communicated and registered. With those comments, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker I strongly support this Motion. I hope that we will get the regulations back to this House, so that we can look at them again properly. Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker."
