Museveni to join Parliament in paying tribute to Gen. Moses Ali

What the report says

The Independent Uganda, citing URN, reports that President Yoweri Museveni is expected to attend a special sitting of Parliament on Tuesday, July 21, 2026, to honour Gen. Moses Ali, the former First Deputy Prime Minister and Adjumani East Member of Parliament. The sitting is scheduled for 9:00 a.m. in Kampala, according to a communication to MPs from Government Chief Whip Dr. Jane Ruth Aceng.

Dr. Aceng told legislators that the President would join them for the tribute and asked MPs to arrive by 8:00 a.m. so security procedures could be completed before Museveni’s arrival. After the parliamentary eulogy, Gen. Ali’s body is due to be flown to Adjumani district the same day, ahead of burial on Wednesday at his ancestral home.

The report says Gen. Ali died on Saturday after a long public career in senior government positions. It describes him as one of Uganda’s longest-serving politicians and statesmen, and says leaders around the country have been paying tribute since his death. The parliamentary session is expected to be among the main national events before his final send-off.

The Independent also reported that funeral prayers were held on Sunday at several Muslim sites in Kampala, including Naguru, IUIU Kibuli Campus, Kibuli Mosque and the National Mosque. As general context, state and parliamentary tributes for senior public figures often serve as formal moments for national institutions to recognize public service before burial arrangements proceed in the deceased’s home area.
