Deputy Speaker Thomas Tayebwa breaks silence on reported helicopter crash

"Dear all, my colleagues and I are all okay. No one is hurt," he wrote on X, addressing a story posted by NilePost.

The online platform, part of Next Media, reported on Sunday morning that Tayebwa had been involved in a helicopter incident in western Uganda the previous evening, though they did not provide further details.

Commenting on the Deputy Speaker's post, the Vice Chancellor of Victoria University Dr. Lawrence Muganga said: "'We thank God for your life and the lives of the colleagues you were with. The God we serve says: "Even to your old age and gray hairs I am he, I am he who will sustain you. I have made you and I will carry you; I will sustain you and I will rescue you.' - Isaiah 46:4. May God's blessings continue to shine upon you, filling your life with love, peace, and happiness."
