Published on September 18, 2019, a Nairobi court had issued orders stopping the cremation of Ken Okoth, a late Kibra MP, until a case filed by Ann Muthoni was heard.
Ann Thumbi, the child's mother, had sued Okoth's mother Angeline Okoth and wife Monica Okoth, along with Lee funeral home, through lawyer Elkana Mogaka Thumbi.
Lawyer Danstan Omari, representing Anne Thumbi, had filed a DNA result which returned a verdict of 99.99 per cent, conducted through three DNA tests, both locally and abroad.
However, Monica Okoth, the late MP's wife, has disputed the DNA results, claiming she has different results.
The court has directed her to produce her results within the next fourteen days.
Earlier, the magistrate's court had ordered a DNA test be conducted after the child and her mother were excluded from being part of the process of the lawmaker's burial.
The late lawmaker's family had refused to acknowledge them as part of the family.
