I'm a product of Museveni's great leadership, says Deputy Speaker Tayebwa

Tayebwa revealed his good fortune while speaking at the Makerere Centenary Celebrations where President Museveni is the Guest of Honor.

“In 2001, with a metallic suitcase and Shs450,000 school fees for Makerere. I came to Makerere with no relatives in the Government of Uganda but today, I am Deputy Speaker of Parliament. This really makes me one of the testimonies from the government,” Hon Tayebwa said.

Adding that, “I want to thank you, Your Excellency the President, because you have created opportunities for people who you have never heard of, who had no relatives or a contact in government and you have given them opportunities to serve in positions of high responsibility in this country. I want to thank you for that and forever and ever, I will be grateful to Makerere, President Museveni and the NRM government.”
