During the opening of National Unity Platform Office in November 2020 in Kyenjojo, Joyce was the guest of honor for the event.[2] She requested peace and harmony during and after the 2021 election period despite the political differences among Ugandans during and after the political season.[2]
In 2007, a year when Joyce joined the 8th Parliament of Uganda as a woman Member of Parliament of Uganda, she received death threats from supporters of one of the candidates in the district Local Council 5 chairperson by-elections.[1] Joyce said that her death threats were a result of allegations that she was campaigning for one of the candidates in the elections.[1] These death threats also included threats of burning down Kyenjojo Development Radio, a radio station of which she is a director.[1]
Later in the next parliament, 28-year-old Linda Timbigamba beat the incumbent, Joyce Kwebiha with 24,922 votes, for the Kyenjojo Woman Member of Parliament seat and Kwebiha got 20,106 votes.[3] She was followed by Miriam Kesiime with 14,123 votes and Theresa Kabasinguzi came last with 11,911.[3]
