The Minister of Security General Elly Tumwine has maintained that the speaker of parliament is ignorant about the facts of the Nommo gallery.

This was when he was explaining to parliament about the alleged attack on the speaker of parliament over parliamentary decision calling him out of the Nommo gallery.

Recently parliament passed a resolution ordering General Elly Twine to vacate Nomo gallery and pay rent arrears worth 1.6 billion that is accumulated since 1998.

Making a personal statement yesterday evening, General Tumwine repeated his statement against Kadaga and also insisted that he will not pay any money for rent since the Nommo gallery belongs to the visual artists, of which is a patron.

Tumwine found it difficult  to defend himself against the statement that attacked the Speaker of Parliament when Rubaga North MP, Moses Kasibante tabled before parliament transcribed statement of General Tumwine that will be used as evidence while parliament is probing him.
