DNA Test Confirms Only Four Children for Kadongo Kamu Legend Paul Job Kafeero

Forensic and government DNA tests have conclusively identified four biological children of the late Kadongo Kamu music legend Paul Job Kafeero, ending years of paternity claims. Out of 25 individuals who asserted they were Kafeero's children, only four have been scientifically confirmed as his offspring.

The results were officially announced on Thursday by AIGP Andrew Mubiru, Director of Police Forensic Services, and Kepher Kuchana Kateu, Director of the Government Analytical Laboratory. The briefing, held at the Police Forensic Directorate in Naguru, was attended by Minister of State for Youth and Children Affairs Balaam Barugahara, who has been involved in mediating the dispute.

DNA tests were conducted earlier this month following intensified conflicts over the late musician's property and lineage. Minister Barugahara intervened, proposing exhumation and securing a court order to resolve the paternity claims. Both laboratories utilized identical scientific procedures and equipment, yielding matching results.

"Science does not lie," stated Kepher Kuchana Kateu, emphasizing the reliability of the tests. "We have been conducting these tests for several years... The final results are out. Please let the conflicts end now."

The confirmed biological children are Benedict Kafeero, Simon Peter Kafeero, Tomas Kafeero (also known as Swazi), and Elizabeth Nagawa. The announcement brought tears to many of the disappointed claimants, including Kafero Eron, Kafero Phillip, and John Mark Kafeero, among the 21 whose DNA did not match. Minister Barugahara noted that the four confirmed children had also matched earlier DNA tests from years ago, though those findings were previously contested.

“

Science does not lie. We have been conducting these tests for several years in government and police laboratories, and we have saved many families and reunited others. You went to the government and requested help to resolve this matter. The final results are out. Please let the conflicts end now. We do not want to hear more disputes about Kafeero's children
