President Museveni to Join Parliament in Paying Tribute to Gen Moses Ali

What the report says

Nile Post reports that President Yoweri Museveni was expected to join Members of Parliament for a special sitting on Tuesday, July 21, 2026, to honour the late Gen (Rtd) Moses Ali. The sitting was scheduled for 9:00am at Parliament, with Government Chief Whip Ruth Aceng asking MPs to arrive by 8:00am to complete security checks before the President’s attendance.

According to the report, Parliament had moved the tribute session from Monday to Tuesday. After the parliamentary eulogy, Gen Ali’s body was to be flown to Adjumani District, where he was due to be buried on Wednesday at his ancestral home. The government accorded him an official burial, with arrangements being handled by the National Organising Committee together with his family.

Nile Post identifies Gen Ali as a veteran soldier, cabinet minister and legislator who represented Adjumani West County. The report says he died on Saturday and notes that, over a long public career, he served in senior roles including First Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Disaster Preparedness. At the time of his death, he was serving as Second Deputy Prime Minister and MP for Adjumani West.

The planned tribute matters because it places Gen Ali’s death within a formal state and parliamentary process, reflecting his decades in Uganda’s military and political leadership. The final rites in Adjumani also underline his connection to the constituency and district he represented in Parliament.
