This is applaudable Hon MP, this will help men from onset than to be told that this child is not your biological one after 23 years or all the children u thought were your after all are not yours.Attach DNA Results to Birth Certificates
Spencer Tshuma, MP for Gokwe–Kabuyuni, has called for mandatory DNA testing at birth before a child is issued with a birth certificate.
He said the measure would help resolve paternity disputes, ensure children inherit from their biological fathers, and prevent men from being forced to support children who are not biologically theirs.
Tshuma proposed that DNA results be attached to the birth certificate as proof of parentage and urged the Government to make DNA testing affordable and accessible in hospitals by providing the necessary testing equipment.
