Tayebwa told the crowd at the Makerere Centenary Celebrations, where President Museveni was the Guest of Honor, about how lucky he was.
"In 2001, I went to Makerere with a metal case and Shs450,000 for school fees. I didn't have any relatives in the Ugandan government when I moved to Makerere, but now I am the Deputy Speaker of Parliament. "This really makes me one of the government's witnesses," said Hon. Tayebwa.
Adding, "I want to thank you, Your Excellency the President, because you have given people who you have never heard of and who didn't have any relatives or friends in government a chance to serve in high-level positions in this country. I want to thank you for that, and I will be grateful to Makerere, President Museveni, and the NRM government for as long as I live."
President Museveni chose Tayebwa to be the Government Chief Whip in 2021. Since 2016, he has also been a member of parliament for Ruhinda North County in Mitooma District.
