Stop Complaining About My Salary – Tayebwa
By The Public Lens
The Deputy Speaker of Parliament, Thomas Tayebwa, has expressed discontent over numerous but wrong allegations concerning the size of his monthly salary by most Ugandans without a proper verification of what he exactly takes home as a monthly pay.
While speaking at the 40th year celebration of Sacred Heart Seminary in Mubende on Sat 13 July, 2024, Tayebwa said People always attack him over his salary, to the extent that some even allege that he is paid Shs130 million for attires, yet this is not true.
“I am tired of hearing Ugandans complain about my salary,” he said. “People always attack me over my salary, you can imagine someone says that I am paid Shs130 million for attires which is not the case. Parliament gives me a woolen wig which itches me, that’s why whenever I am in session you see me scratching my head and on top of that, they gave me a gown as if I am in some kind of choir.”
The Deputy Speaker also asked Ugandans to stop abusing President Museveni over the corruption of legislators and instead report corrupt officials to help government fight the vice.
“Not all MPs are corrupt but some people go on and embarrassing all not knowing that some are very holy and grew up from good families,” he said and contributed Shs40 million to support the school.
Buganda’s Minister for Local government, Joseph Kawuuki, who also attended the celebrations expressed worry over moral decay in the country and urged parents to revamp their role of proper parenting.
“Almost everyone is doing something ugly, that’s why we have many cases of corruption, rape, murder and others,” Kawuuki said.
Hope Grania Nakazibwe, the Woman MP Mubende, said as Parliament they are not going to stop fighting corruption.
Bishop Anthony Zziwa, who led the celebratory mass, encouraged school owners to embrace seminary norms.
“If we want to have productive Ugandans, let us embrace seminary norms because here we groom a student that’s when our country will have good-hearted people,” Zziwa said.
