Govt Clarifies on Couple Having to Pay Ksh2500 Per Month

The Kenyan government has clarified a fake post that has been circulating on social media, which stated that couples living together without a marriage certificate will be required to pay Ksh2500 in monthly charges.

The post had caused quite a stir among Kenyans, with many accusing the government of introducing new taxes, including marriage certificates. However, the government has now come forward to clarify that the post is entirely false and has no basis in reality.

According to a well-known source, the post in question is completely fake and has no relation to any government policy or regulation. The source revealed that the post was created by an unknown individual or group with the intention of misleading the public.

The post claimed that couples living together without a marriage certificate would be required to pay Ksh2500 in monthly charges, but this is not true.

The Interior Ministry of Communication, through its spokesperson, Francis Gachuri, has also confirmed that the post is fake and has no basis in reality. The ministry urged the public to disregard the post and not to fall prey to such false information.

There are several reasons why the post is fake, and one of the main reasons is that there is no legal provision in Kenya that requires couples living together without a marriage certificate to pay any monthly charges.

The Constitution of Kenya recognizes both civil and customary marriages, and there are no provisions for any form of tax or charge for couples who choose to live together without a marriage certificate.

Moreover, the post does not provide any credible sources or evidence to support its claims, which is another indication that it is fake. The lack of transparency and accountability in the post’s claims further reinforces the fact that it is a hoax.
