Former Nairobi Governor Mike Sonko has advised Kenyans to avoid going for DNA tests.
In a statement on his social media accounts of Tuesday, January 10, the former governor stated that DNA tests have resulted in a number of broken marriages and relationships in the country.
“I have done a further research on Senator Omanga's earlier DNA home test kit post going for 800 bob. First my advice to families avoid going for such tests as they'll lead to lot of divorce cases na kuvunja so many relationships na maboma,” Sonko stated.
The former Nairobi County boss urged families that have been affected by DNA tests to raise their children together as they are innocent.
“However for information purposes the home test kits zinapeana up to 99.99% accuracy kama mzae alihanywa so wachaneni nahizo story muendele kulea na kusomesha watoto as they're innocent and a blessing to families,” the former Governor added.
