Tayebwa is not the first to elicit debate on his lifestyle as his boss too Speaker Anita has always faced the same occasionally while rocking super expensive dresses which netizens normally go search online and find their actual prices ranging in 1000s of dollars.
However, known for taking no prisoner, Deputy Speaker Tayebwa has come out with guns brazing saying he owe no apology to any body for donning an expensive watch since it’s his life and his money.
Speaking at the 4th Annual National Project Management Conference in Kampala today, the Deputy Speaker says people thing that whatever he buys as an individual, h uses tax payer’s money which ain’t true and some times Ugandans would wish to get apologies from individuals for being successful or hardworking saying he employs over 400 people in his businesses, how could he fail to get something nice for himself ‘Riyale’.
“Through my businesses, I employ over 400 people but even when I buy a watch, people think i have used taxpayers’ money. So, if i can look after 400 families, why wouldn’t i afford to buy myself something good and look nice? Some Ugandans want yo to apologize for being happy, successful and hardworking. Never apologize for being any of these,”-said Tayebwa as reported by Monitor.
