"I know people who have been calling Dr Sudhir to go and develop their countries. I know many, some of them were asking me, but this Sudhir man what did you give him as Uganda? The man has a lot of money and we would like him to come and invest in our areas," he revealed.
“So chairman, I want to thank you and your team of investors who have looked at Uganda as your number one destination for investment," Tayebwa said.
The deputy speaker also assured the investors of government's support whenever they need it.
Tayebwa urged Ugandans to market their country wherever they go.
“This is our home, whether you want it or not we are going to be buried here,” he emphasised.
He pledged Parliament’s support to the tourism sector through legislation and budget appropriation in key sectors like infrastructure and security to raise the tourism momentum.
During the tourism night, a number of people who have played a big role in promoting Uganda were rewarded.
