The saga that has gripped the nation shows no signs of cooling down. Just hours after official laboratory results shattered a mother’s dream, the family of Judith Makokha—the woman who claims to be the biological mother of star Kevin Bahati—is fighting back, branding the scientific proof “a sham.”
While the rest of the country accepts the 0% match as the final word, Bahati’s alleged sister has launched an impassioned defense of her mother, insisting that no piece of paper can override the bond she feels in her “gut.”
In a video circulating widely on social media, the young woman—who says she considers Bahati her brother—lashed out at the public and the medical team involved, maintaining that the family remains unconvinced.
“My instincts are telling me Bahati is my brother,” she said, visibly distressed.
“Guys, you are telling me Bahati is not my brother, how? Can’t you see the resemblance? You cannot even look at someone and say, ‘This person looks like this one.’”
She went on to question the legitimacy of the process, suggesting that her mother could not have singled out the Mama hitmaker by pure coincidence.
“How could my mum just wake up one morning and start saying ‘Bahati’? Why didn’t she pick someone else?”
The family, who have faced a barrage of accusations from netizens claiming they are merely “clout-chasing” for a slice of the singer’s fortune, hit back at the skeptics.
“You say we are after his money, but we have been surviving without it,” she insisted.
“We are not after his money; all we wanted was the love for my brother. You don’t consider our happiness; you don’t see how my mum was suffering yesterday.”
The sister described the heartbreaking scene in the doctor’s office, where her mother collapsed in tears upon hearing the results, as a genuine reaction to a deep, personal loss—not a scripted performance.
“Do you think she was joking? The crying was not a game. I couldn’t even hold myself back seeing my mum crying that much.”
The outburst comes as Bahati has attempted to navigate the fallout with a mix of caution and compassion.
Despite the conclusive medical verdict, the singer has publicly offered to help Makokha trace the origin of the child she claims to have surrendered decades ago—and even offered to fly her to South Africa for a second, independent DNA test to ensure “total clarity.”
For now, the family remains in a state of emotional limbo. As the sister continues to challenge the findings, the nation is left wondering whether this is a case of a mother’s intuitive bond being dismissed, or a family struggling to accept the harsh reality of a scientific “no.”
