Deputy Speaker’s Marriage Turmoil Fuels Speculation
Kampala, Uganda – Deputy Speaker of Parliament Thomas Tayebwa sparked controversy recently when he used the parliamentary floor to address personal allegations.
Tayebwa lashed out at Senga Acid, a Canada-based individual who claimed he was having an affair with Sheila Gashumba, an entertainment show host.
His decision to defend himself against the claims has raised eyebrows, with many questioning why he’s investing so much time and energy into disproving what he calls lies.
Sources close to the Deputy Speaker reveal that his marriage to Anita Rukundo is in turmoil, Anita noticeably absent from public events, fueling speculation about the state of their relationship.
The incident has sparked outrage among Ugandans, who are demanding to know why their elected officials are using parliament as a platform for personal vendettas.
Many are questioning whether Tayebwa’s actions are a desperate attempt to save face or if there’s more to the story.
The speaker’s career has been marked by controversy, including a 2020 incident where he was accused of torturing a Umeme employee who had come to disconnect the power supply at his residence.
Despite this, he has maintained a strong presence in Ugandan politics, serving as the Deputy Speaker of the 11th Parliament since 2022.
Deputy Speaker Thomas Tayebwa officially married a Kigezi Young beautiful girl Anita Rukundo in 2009, and they had one child together.
