[Kipsang Joseph, Standard]The High Court in Nakuru has ordered a DNA test to prove the relationship between a woman claiming to be widow to former Nakuru businessman Washington Olweny and her son. She limited the test to Atieno and her son, although she was informed that there was need to do a DNA test to prove the relationship between Odhiambo and the late Olweny. “The DNA test is strictly limited to maternity test and issues of DNA test between Odhiambo and the deceased can wait because it is not relevant at the moment,” ruled Matheka. Ms Akoth, Olweny’s widow, filed the application and she is adamant that Odhiambo is neither Olweny’s son nor Atieno's. The court allowed the application, noting that on June 21, while testifying, Atieno agreed to undertake a DNA test between herself and her son to prove maternal relationship.
