A group of MPs has proposed compulsory DNA testing for children of unknown parentage.
This will help identify their biological parents, restore legal rights and address their psychological and social challenges, said MP Hassan Ibrahim who is spearheading the initiative.
The move calls for the formation of a national framework to conduct DNA testing and the creation of a national DNA database.
“Our proposal seeks to move beyond temporary welfare solutions and achieve true justice for children of unknown parentage,” said Mr Ibrahim.
“Every child has the right to know their identity, their lineage and to live with dignity; it is a matter of human and legal justice.”
