On August 2, 2019, a court allowed DNA samples to be collected from the late Kibra MP Ken Okoth following a claim that Jayden Okoth, a four-year-old boy, is his biological son.
As part of the agreement, MCA Anne Muthoni, who had initially demanded that the funeral be stopped, agreed to relax her demand after the family allowed her son Jayden to attend the ceremony.
The disputing parties submitted a signed consent letter that includes an agreement to have a DNA test conducted to establish paternity of the young boy.
Ms. Muthoni stated in an interview that Ken Okoth was a responsible father to her son, citing his keen interest in Jayden's education and his positive attitude towards life.
"Being keen on education, he always asked how Jayden was doing in school and whenever he could he would check on his progress with the teachers," Ms. Muthoni said.
"He was a good man...So loving and always positive about life," she added.
