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