Deputy Speaker of Parliament Thomas Tayebwa has drawn attention to his business interests after revealing that he runs a bodaboda enterprise that he says generates income independently of his salary. Tayebwa reportedly made the remarks while discussing his business activities, explaining that many people doubted his ability to manage a large fleet of motorcycle operators. He said the venture has grown beyond what some people initially expected, with more than 20,000 bodaboda riders linked to the Tayari business.

Tayebwa explained that his business allows him to earn money without relying on his official salary. In remarks attributed to him, he said he was running a smooth business that generated what he described as clean money. His comments have attracted interest because they offer a glimpse into the commercial activities of one of Uganda’s most senior parliamentary leaders outside his public office.

The Deputy Speaker said some people had questioned whether he could successfully manage more than 20,000 bodaboda riders. However, he maintained that he was determined to prove that the business could work. The scale of the operation, as described in his remarks, points to the management demands involved in coordinating a large number of motorcycle operators, handling payments and maintaining relationships with riders.

Tayebwa also referred to the payment arrangements used by the business, saying he wanted customers or operators to make cash payments at his office on Yusuf Lule Road, while acknowledging that some people used other payment methods. The reference to different payment options suggests that collecting and managing money is an important part of operating the enterprise. Further details about the company’s payment systems and how its daily operations are organised were not provided in the statement.

The business, identified as Tayari, operates in Uganda’s bodaboda sector, which plays a major role in urban transport and provides livelihoods for many people. Motorcycle taxis are widely used because they can navigate busy roads and reach areas where larger vehicles may struggle. A business operating at the scale Tayebwa described would face significant logistical challenges, including coordinating riders, maintaining operational standards and ensuring that payment arrangements work efficiently.

Tayebwa’s remarks have also brought attention to the issue of leaders engaging in private business while holding public office. For many Ugandans, the ability to establish a business that generates income beyond a salary represents an opportunity to build financial independence. However, public officials’ business interests can also attract questions about transparency, the separation of private commercial activities from official duties and the need to manage any potential conflicts of interest appropriately.

By speaking about his experience, Tayebwa presented himself as an entrepreneur who continued to pursue commercial activities despite the demands of his parliamentary responsibilities. His claim that the business generates income without depending on his salary has become the central point of the discussion.

However, the full financial performance of Tayari, its ownership arrangements and the exact number of active riders have not been independently established from the statement alone. The revelation has placed Tayebwa’s business activities in the spotlight and sparked interest in how large bodaboda enterprises are managed in Uganda. His remarks highlight the potential scale of commercial opportunities in the motorcycle transport sector, while also raising questions about how such operations are organised and supervised. More information about Tayari’s structure, services and operations would be needed to provide a fuller picture of the business he says has grown to involve more than 20,000 riders.
