- A leading Ghanaian journalist has courageously called for greater responsibility among men in Ghana.
- The reporter called on the president to implement a system requiring paternity tests for every family and hospital.
- His remark has sparked extensive online responses as more men share their opinions
A leading journalist from EIB Networks Kasapa 102.5 FM has launched a courageous initiative targeting men in Ghana.
During a broadcast on Kasapa 102.5, he urged the President of Ghana, H.E. John Dramani Mahama, to require all families and hospitals to conduct paternity tests for every newborn.
He claimed that multiple Ghanaian men are caring for children who are not their biological offspring.
He believes that men are frequently being deceived, and it's time for the government to step in and safeguard those who might otherwise be reluctant to act.
Testing the DNA of every newborn at the hospital, he stated, could avoid numerous future heartaches.
His remark comes after an increase in cases where men later find out that the children they thought were theirs are not.
This problem is not restricted to ordinary individuals; a number of well-known personalities have faced comparable circumstances, leading to demands for intervention.
"I am urging the President to include DNA testing in the National Health Insurance. The President needs to incorporate paternity testing into the National Health Insurance. Just as women receive maternity care, he should ensure similar support for men," he stated.
This occurs because the number of men squandering their investments is growing excessively. Men who are covering costs for children who are not their own are increasing in number.
"More men are experiencing hardship. I am urging that the DNA test should be conducted immediately after the child's birth at the hospital," he concluded.
DNA Drama: A man discovers his children are not his biological ones
Former Ghanaian international Nii Odartey Lamptey revealed he experienced a period of emotional turmoil upon learning that the three children he raised with his former spouse were not his biological offspring.
The former Anderlecht and Aston Villa striker mentioned that he had a firearm in his vehicle but chose not to take extreme measures after considering his future.
Odartey Lamptey and his former spouse, Gloria Appiah, divorced in 2013 following DNA tests that established he was not the biological parent of their children.
This disclosure concluded their 20-year marriage and resulted in a lengthy legal battle concerning damages.
In 2022, Odartey Lamptey reportedly stated that his three children were not his biological offspring, 21 years after getting married.

He carried out the DNA tests following his ex-wife's request for half of his assets.
During an interview with Dan Kweku Yeboah, he shared his initial response, mentioning that he nearly reached for his gun, but luckily, it was in his Tundra parked outside.
In a similar case, a man named Robert Ocran surprised listeners during a radio interview on Nhyira FM after DNA testing revealed he was not the father of two of his four children.
The Ghanaian father spoke about his experience on a Kumasi radio station, showing his claimed DNA test.
His wife's family had doubted his capacity to have children, leading to a test that proved he was not their biological father.
Although the results were obtained, his wife reportedly maintained that Robert was the biological father and asked for a second test at another laboratory to confirm the accuracy.
