Ogwal told the committee that the CCTV footage presented before it [about her altercation with Tumwine in the corridors of Parliament] could have been tampered with under the influence of the Security minister.

The Opposition legislator also told the committee on how her health conditions have deteriorated since she was assaulted and shouted at by the combative Gen Tumwine.

Bukonzo West legislator Atkins Katusabe was the first to appear before the committee and he informed the MPs how he was trailed by unknown people something that has left him unsettled.

Gen Tumwine is expected to appear before the committee today morning.
