Renowned city lawyer and former legislator Hon. Mukasa Mbidde has found himself at the center of controversy after dragging a 24-year-old woman, Mutoni Beylse, to Jinja Road Police Station. The lawyer accused Mutoni of intercepting his private moment with his wife, Phiona Nayebale, and demanding $3,000 from him in a public scene at a Kampala hotel.

According to police reports, the altercation took place at an upscale hotel in Kampala where Mbidde and his wife were enjoying a private dinner. Eyewitnesses revealed that Mutoni unexpectedly showed up at the same venue and immediately confronted the former legislator, allegedly accusing him of cutting off communication despite owing her money.
Kampala Metropolitan Police Spokesperson Patrick Onyango confirmed that Mbidde officially filed a complaint under reference SDREF: 70/14/02/2025, citing harassment and public disturbance.
“Hon. Mbidde reported that a lady, Mutoni Beylse, stormed his space and disrupted his quality time with his wife. She demanded $3,000 from him, claiming that he had not fulfilled his promise,” Onyango stated.

On her part, Mutoni Beylse insists that she had been in communication with Hon. Mbidde for over three weeks prior to the incident. She alleges that during their interactions, the lawyer had made certain promises, including helping her secure a job. However, she claims that Mbidde suddenly stopped responding to her messages without fulfilling his commitment.
“When I saw him at the hotel, I took the opportunity to remind him of the promises he made. I wanted him to settle what he owed me, and that’s when he called security on me,” Mutoni reportedly told police.
