The Chief Magistrates Court in Mukono has ordered controversial lawyer, Male Mabirizi and his siblings to undergo a DNA paternity test in order to ascertain whether they belong to the same father.
The same order will also see Mabirizi subjected to a DNA test, Mukono grade one magistrate, Paul Matyama ruled.
Last month, the Chief Magistrates Court in Mengo ruled that the last funeral rites for Mutumba organized by family members led by one of his sons, Pastor Moses Male in the absence of Mabirizi who was by then in prison were null and void.
This came after Mabirizi challenged the occupation of some of his late father’s property by one of his siblings, Nalutaaya Stella that the lawyer said belonged to him.
Court ruled that it was wrong for the family members to hold last funeral rites in which they distributed Mutumba’s property in Mabirizi’a absence, an act the chief magistrate described as being contempt of court aimed at altering the status quo to render the lawyer’s earlier application empty.
Basing on the ruling by the Chief Magistrates Court in Mengo, Mabirizi filed an application in Mukono seeking an exhumation order for the remains of his late father Mohamed Mutumba buried on June, 21, 2022 at Ndese village, Ndese town, Seeta Namuganga sub-county in Mukono district.
The exhumation would allow part of the skeleton from the remains of Mabirizi’s father be used to make a DNA test against all his siblings to ascertain their relationship with his late father.END.
