Preparations Begin for Gen Moses Ali’s Burial at Taqwa Mosque Cemetery

What the report says

Nile Post reports that burial preparations for Gen (Rtd) Moses Ali have begun at Taqwa Mosque Cemetery in Abiricaku Village, Adjumani Town Council. The former Second Deputy Prime Minister and long-serving Adjumani West County MP is expected to be buried there under Islamic rites. According to the report, workers began preparing the grave on Monday morning ahead of the funeral arrangements.

The outlet cites Alhajji Imam Yusuf Baraka, the Imam of Taqwa Mosque, as saying the grave was being prepared in advance so that it would be ready for the burial ceremony. Nile Post also reports that President Yoweri Kaguta Museveni announced Gen Moses Ali’s death, saying he died at Nakasero Hospital on Saturday afternoon.

President Museveni paid tribute to Moses Ali as a patriot who served in both military and political leadership, and he granted him an official burial in recognition of more than five decades in public service, according to the article. The National Organising Committee is working with the family on the state send-off, and hundreds of mourners are expected in Adjumani to pay their respects.

Moses Ali was one of Uganda’s most prominent political figures from the West Nile sub-region, having held senior government roles including Second Deputy Prime Minister and Deputy Leader of Government Business in Parliament. His burial is significant not only as a farewell to a veteran soldier and politician, but also as a national moment of remembrance for a figure who remained active in public life for many years.
