The Nakuru pastor asked for three HIV & Pregnancy tests then cancelled the wedding.

Looks like, the groom was an interpreter in the Church. Sasa waende kwa AG wachukue Certificate unless they have another loose million for a second wedding.

This will make Kenyans think twice about the 4 phase marriages;

1. Come we stay - boy and girl live together from college days to early career days, or beyond;

2. Traditional - Boy/ Girl asked utatuletea mtu lini. Leading to family visits, wazee negotiations and dowry payment;

3. Civil process - affidavits and notification at AG's. This one a must if getting married under Statute;

4. Celebration before the Church Minister, Government Lawyer, Magistrate, Kadhi, Temple priest etc according to one's faith or lack thereof.

Btw each of the four phases constitutes a legally recognized marriage.

details are scanty on the actual reasons for the denial, but I would really run for my life with such a heartless pastor.with thousands of pastors available, one can get a real and realist pastor to officiate such a ceremony

His power to give marriage certificates needs to be taken away from him
