32 men in Uganda have sent letters to the Directorate of Citizenship and Immigration Control requesting the cancellation of their children’s passports.

This request comes after DNA test results revealed that they were not the biological fathers of their children.

According to a DCIC report, most men were inspired to do DNA tests on their children after reading recent articles in Ugandan newspapers about their counterparts who discovered that not all of the children in their homes belonged to them.

Father of six

In one incident, a father of six living and working in Europe sought to have his children’s passports revoked after DNA tests revealed that the children he had raised were not his.

According to the Monitor, he secretly conducted the tests at the Directorate of Government Analytical Laboratory(DGAL) but was shocked by the results that he repeated similar tests in Canada and South Africa.

All the tests revealed that he was not the biological father of his six children.

He revealed that he decision to undergo the testing was made after he had an argument with his wife, who revealed to him that some of the children were not his. After doing the DNA testing’s, he realized that none of the children were his.

The 32 men who had applied for and received passports for their wives and children have reportedly returned and demanded that their names be taken off of the children’s passports, according to Simon Mundeyi, a spokesperson for the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

Simon claims that the DCIC was unable to grant the request and instead forwarded the complainants to the National Identification Registration Authority(NIRA) to update their  information.
