Vincent is accused of fathering a child who is making one year now with Kakooza Kamulali's wife (pictured right).

The court that was presided over by Malangala LC3 chairman, Mande Buwembo, the area LCI chairman Moses Kyagulanyi and the police boss, Justus Bitenihirwe sat last Saturday.

Vincent, who has three wives, was also fined a crate of soda that was consumed by those who attended court.

He however at first denied the accusations insisting that he wanted a paternity test. He was however overwhelmed by the residents who told him not to even waste his money for the test because the child was his exact photocopy.

Kakooza's wife also pinned Vincent insisting he was the true father of the child. At this point Vincent let down his guard and accepted responsibility for the child.
