The government will sponsor mass weddings for police officers as a way of encouraging them to solemnize their marriages.
This will be handled under the Office of the Spouse of the Deputy President (OSDP) in a bid to uphold family values and chaplaincy.
Second Lady Dorcas Rigathi says she would personally attend the annual mass weddings in support of strong families for the police.
She spoke on Sunday during the commissioning of 11 police officers to be bishops evangelists, and pastors at the Nyeri Administration Police Line.
“We shall work together to strengthen families and to promote the sanctity and dignity of marriage.
“We shall encourage cohesive families and in order to do this with the National Police Service we shall organise marriages for uniformed police in mass weddings every year,” said Mrs Rigathi.

She says her office would collaborate with the police chaplaincy in advocating for strong family values across the security service.
“There is a transformation happening in this country, even as we witness today’s occasion of our security officers being commissioned to the priesthood. I urge all officers to always stand by the truth, and they will succeed,” she added.
