The office of the Attorney General and Depart of Justice in Nairobi has halted marriage services in order to develop a clear roadmap on re-opening after many Kenyans flocked the office raising fears of spread of Covid-19.
In a statement Tuesday, Registrar General Mary Njuya said the number of people who visited the office was overwhelming and went against the guidelines by the Ministry of Health in curbing the spread of Coronavirus.
The office had been partially re-opened on May 18, 2020, for selected marriage services.
According to the registrar, marriage services will remain suspended until further notice.
“ We regret any inconvenience caused and wish to ensure all our clients that we are working tirelessly to ensure that provision of these services resume as soon as is practically possible.”
