"I believe that DNA test should be mandatory and it should be added to the constitution of Ghana that after the birth of every child, a DNA test must be conducted before the child is given a name."
He stressed the importance of men taking care of women who claim they have impregnated them until a DNA test is conducted to confirm parentage.
“Men should just make sure that the kids that they are spending money on, spending time with and doing everything for belongs to them.”
The proposal aims to address issues related to paternity uncertainty and ensure the accuracy of familial relationships.
By implementing mandatory DNA testing, Prince envisions a system that promotes transparency and helps prevent potential legal and emotional challenges arising from paternity disputes.

Prince's comments came after a Ghanaian woman confessed on a TV3 show, Confessions, to manipulating DNA results to break up a marriage and subsequently marry the man.
The remorseful lady admitted to exchanging the man's DNA results, falsely indicating that the children were not biologically related to him.
She added that she's grappling with guilt, particularly after learning of the tragic demise of her husband's ex-wife, who suffered distress due to the false paternity test.
