The Police has advised the family of the late Prof. Lawrence Mukiibi to take care of over 30 expectant mothers who claim that the late was responsible for their pregnancies. Keti Nandi, the officer in charge of child and family affairs in Kampala Metropolitan East, says the family should be tolerant and continue taking care of the expectant mothers up to birth.
“My appeal is that whoever is pregnant should not be undermined because of that. Even if you [family] denied the pregnancy, the responsibility is upon you people make sure that these people are catered for until they give birth,” she said.
“It will be after birth that the DNA will take over.”
Local reports had stated that the family had turned away pregnant women who thronged the family after the death of the educationist.
Several women have since come up to bring children to relatives with the number reportedly at 85 so far. At his burial, many were identified as his children.
