It’s a man’s world as Attorney General Githu Muigai argues in favour of fathers

Men who father children out of wedlock have the final say on the names to be used in the child’s registration. That is the counsel of the Government legal adviser Prof Githu Muigai.

The Attorney General has told the court that men who sire children out of wedlock need to be consulted by women on whether their names can appear on the child’s birth certificate. The AG said there is no breach of the Constitution if the man’s name is not included in the birth certificate.
