Understanding DNA Testing

DNA paternity testing compares genetic material to confirm biological relationships. Experts note that it is increasingly discussed in Kenyan public discourse, though it remains a private decision.
Globally, fathers pursue tests for different reasons:
  • Personal certainty
  • Legal requirements
  • Resolving doubts
A recent Smart DNA report found that more than 25% of tests revealed that the presumed father was not biologically related to the child. Such statistics explain why some parents opt for testing.
