• Grace Nakimera says she would leave her partner if he ever carried out a DNA test on her children.
• The singer believes DNA tests destroy homes because they are based on mistrust and suspicion.
• She also reacted to past comments by Balaam Barugahara about DNA test results in Uganda, joking that the machines may have “jammed.”

Ugandan singer Grace Nakimera has weighed in on the growing conversation around DNA testing in relationships, making it clear that she would not tolerate it in her home.

While appearing in an interview on Galaxy FM, the Anfukula singer was asked whether she would allow her partner to carry out a DNA test on their children, especially her twins. Nakimera responded firmly, saying the day a man decides to conduct a DNA test on her children is the day she would pack her bags and leave with them.

According to the singer, DNA tests have the potential to destroy families because they are rooted in suspicion and mistrust. She questioned why a man would choose to doubt the paternity of children in the first place, arguing that such doubts can deeply damage a relationship.

“The day my man decides to carry out a DNA test on my children is the day I pack and leave with my children.”

Nakimera added that trust is one of the most important foundations of a home, and once that trust is broken, the relationship can quickly fall apart. She maintained that there is no reason for DNA testing in her own marriage or relationship if both partners are honest with each other.

“DNA tests destroy homes because they show there is already mistrust in the relationship.”

She, however, noted that if a man chooses to secretly carry out a DNA test behind her back, that would be his decision, as long as she never gets to know about it.

Nakimera also referenced recent public comments by Balaam Barugahara, who once revealed that many DNA tests conducted during his time in the gender ministry reportedly returned negative results. In a light-hearted response, the singer joked that perhaps the testing machines had “jammed.”
