The High Court has ordered the registrar of births and deaths to remove the name of a man from a minor's birth certificate after two DNA tests proved that he was not the father.

At the same time, Justice Kizito Magare ordered the mother to pay him Sh 75,000 for the cost of the case she filed.

She argued that he should continue paying upkeep, as he had allegedly been doing so from birth.  The woman, code-named LKM, had filed a case against the man condenamed RMB before the magistrate's court.

Nevertheless, she lost before the lower court, prompting her to move to the High Court.
