Parliament Reschedules Special Sitting to Honour Gen Moses Ali to Tuesday

What the report says

Nile Post reported that Uganda’s Parliament has moved a planned special sitting in honour of the late Gen. (Rtd) Moses Ali from Monday, July 20, to Tuesday, July 21, 2026. The sitting is scheduled for 10:00am, according to a parliamentary announcement cited by the outlet. Lawmakers are expected to use the dedicated session to pay tribute to Ali, who served as Second Deputy Prime Minister and Deputy Leader of Government Business.

The outlet said Parliament first indicated that the tribute sitting would take place on Monday before announcing the revised date through its official X account on Sunday. No reason was provided for the change. The sitting is expected to include eulogies from Members of Parliament and reflections on Ali’s years in public service.

Ali, who Nile Post said died on Saturday, was a long-serving military and political figure in Uganda. He represented Adjumani West in Parliament and held a number of ministerial roles over several decades. The report described him as a veteran statesman whose work spanned national governance, political leadership and peacebuilding.

According to the report, Parliament is expected to adjourn after the tributes so legislators and members of the public can take part in activities to pay their final respects. The rescheduled sitting matters because it sets the formal parliamentary moment for honouring a prominent national figure associated with both the military establishment and civilian government leadership.
