Richard Olukhakha and Rosemary Onyango, a couple from Kakamega County believe Sharon Mathias, a 19-year-old girl raised by Angeline Omina who resides in Kangemi, Nairobi, is their daughter.

Sharon bears a striking resemblance with couple’s 19-year old daughter Melon Lutenyo, who was born in same hospital (Kakamega Teaching and Referral Hospital) as Sharon, though on different days.

Mr Olukhakha and his wife Rosemary are pleading for a DNA examination to verify the parentage of the children and put the matter to rest.
