NABUMALI, Uganda (AP) — Among the most sensitive family disputes Moses Kutoi mediates are those involving upset men questioning why some of their children don’t resemble them.
For the Ugandan clan leader attuned to the wisdom of his ancestors, the matter is taboo, never to be discussed with others. Yet Kutoi feels compelled to intervene in the hope of saving marriages that sometimes turn violent and are on the verge of breaking.
“Even me, I don’t resemble my father,” the clan leader recently told one disbelieving man he was helping.
Paternity has become a key test of faith in this east African country as DNA testing becomes more widely available, fueled in part by published reports of well-known Ugandans who eventually discovered they were not the biological fathers of some of their children.
The matter has become so heated that clerics and traditional leaders now urge tolerance and a return to the kind of African teachings that village elders like Kutoi say they stand for.
At last year’s Christmas Day service, the Anglican archbishop of Uganda, Stephen Kaziimba, cited the example of the virgin birth of Jesus — the bedrock of Christian belief — in a sermon that sought to discourage DNA testing among the faithful.
“You take DNA and you find out that out of the four children, only two are yours,” he warned. “So just take care of the children the way they are, like Joseph did.”
Paternity disputes are proliferating The Ministry of Internal Affairs runs a government-accredited lab that conducts court-ordered investigations. It says the number of men seeking voluntary DNA testing has soared recently, with often “heartbreaking” outcomes.
“About 95% of those coming for DNA tests are men, but more than 98% of the results show these men are not the biological fathers,”

Well said ...
They probably also wonder why they get VD.
But it’s an amazing culture /sarcasm.
You don’t want some cultures in your country.
all cultures are equal - or something like that. Diversity is our strength...
This reminds me of a certain species of Salmon, where some males don’t migrate to the ocean and come back to spawn. They remain very small. When the females come to lay eggs, and the large males are fighting to see who gets to fertilize them, the small bastards sneak in underneath the female and do the deed.
Just the chickens of feminism coming home to roost.
But women are never at fault, never responsible for their actions.
Woulda let you slide if you left off the /s on that one
Now do a story about American men.
Like our culture is that much better.
Some states have made paternity testing mandatory at birth. Guess who's complaining? It ain't the men ...
From AI:”The HIV rate in Uganda is estimated to be around 4.9% to 5.1% for adults aged 15-49, with a higher prevalence among women than men.”
Especially diversity of fathers in a single family unit!
With 98% negative paternity tests, I hope we are a little bit better.
” upset men questioning why some of their children don’t resemble them.”
Covid jabs will cause that. It’s OK.
I suspect that
1) We’re not as bad a Uganda
2) We don’t really know how bad we are and would probably be shocked to find out.
“Like our culture is that much better.”
It used to be fine back in the 60s.
Do they resemble Mamdami?
