Late Kibra MP Ken Okoth’s widow, Monica has rejected DNA results that confirmed that her husband sired Nairobi nominated MCA Anne Muthoni Thumbi’s four-year-old son.
Ms. Monica says that the DNA results produced in court two weeks ago cannot be believed and wants to table her own results, according to her lawyers.
Ms. Monica told the court that she had commissioned independent DNA tests on Okoth and Thumbi’s son, and is yet to receive the outcome.
On Wednesday, the court directed Monica to produce her results within the next 14 days.
DNA test results released by KEMRI early this month confirmed that the chances of Okoth being the father of the boy were 99.99 percent.
The court ordered a DNA test conducted after Ms. Muthoni sued Okoth’s family seeking to compel them to recognize the boy as the late MP’s son and involve him in burial arrangements.
The family of Okoth, however, said it is not disputing the results as it was aware that the boy was Okoth’s son even before DNA test was carried out.
“As a family, we knew about Ken’s son and anybody in the family who will say otherwise will be telling a big lie. The family knew very well about Ken’s son even Monica knew about this child so taking DNA samples was just a waste of time since Ken was in full support of his child,” Okoth’s nephew Evans Oluoch told Citizen Digital.
Okoth, who succumbed to cancer in July, was in a secret love affair with MCA Muthoni, out of which the child was born.
Monica, an Italian national, had no children with her deceased husband.

DNA 99.99% science means out of 1000 men, 10 could have fathered the boy. In a country of 40 million, we need better science. Or just go back to the old science: Grandmother looks at the baby, and make the call. And that is final, no appeal, and more accurate than DNA.
