Late Kibra MP Ken Okoths wife Monica Okoth has disputed the DNA results produced in court by Anne Thumbi's lawyers proving her son was sired by Okoth.

Monica says she has different results.

The court has directed her to produce her results within the next fourteen days.

A Nairobi court had earlier issued orders stopping the cremation of Ken OKoth until the case filed by Ann Muthoni in court is heard.

The court stopped burial until the case is heard and determined. Ann Thumbi sued on behalf of her son, whom she says is Okoth’s.

Through lawyer Elkana Mogaka Thumbi, Muthoni sued Okoth’s mum Angeline Okoth and wife Monica Okoth along with Lee funeral home.

Lawyer Danstan Omari representing Anne Thumbi, the child’s mother, had filed a DNA result which returned a verdict of 99.99 per cent.

They conducted three DNA tests, both locally and abroad. The mother has nevertheless presented the DNA results conducted locally.

The magistrate's court had ordered a DNA test be conducted after the child, and her mother was excluded from being part of the process of the lawmaker’s burial.

The late lawmaker’s family had refused to acknowledge them as part of the family.
