The Minister of Justice and Constitutional Affairs, Hon. Norbert Mao, and his longtime fiancée, Beatrice Kayanja, have held a traditional introduction ceremony.
The colorful event took place on Saturday at Najjemba village in the Wakiso district. It was graced by various notable figures, including Deputy Speaker Thomas Tayebwa, who served as Norbert Mao’s best man, Hon. Mukasa Mbidde, and former Katikkiro Mulwanya Muli Ssemwogere, among others.
The guests were treated to performances by singers Mesach Semakula and Winnie Nwagi.
Our sources revealed that Mao and Beatrice will tie the knot next week in Gulu City.
In February this year, Mao was formally introduced by Beatrice Kayanja to her parents. The Kukyala ceremony took place at Beatrice’s parents’ home in Najjanakumbi.
Beatrice, who is the Research Assistant of the Democratic Party (DP), returned to Uganda in 2020 to contest for the Kampala Capital City Authority Lord Mayorship but was locked out of the race by the Electoral Commission for failing to present her citizenship credentials.
Regarding her marriage to her UK-based husband, Martin Kayanja, and the father of her children, Beatrice petitioned the High Court Family Division in 2022 seeking to dissolve her marriage. The case was assigned to Lady Justice Ketra Katunguka Kitarisibwa, and it is yet to be concluded.
On the other hand, Mao’s 16-year marriage to Naomi Achieng Adong was dissolved by the High Court (Family Division) in 2019. Mao had three children with Achieng.
