President Yoweri Kaguta Museveni has granted an official burial to the late Gen. (Rtd.) Hon. Moses Ali, the Member of Parliament for Adjumani West County in Adjumani District and former Second Deputy Prime Minister of Uganda.

The development was announced by the Minister for the Presidency, Hon. Milly Babirye Babalanda, in a statement shared on her official X account on Sunday.

According to Babalanda, the President directed that the late statesman be accorded an official burial in recognition of his distinguished service to Uganda.

She also revealed that the National Organising Committee (N.O.C.) is meeting with the family of the deceased to coordinate and prepare a befitting send-off.

Babalanda described the late Moses Ali as a distinguished patriot, elder statesman and dedicated public servant whose contribution to Uganda’s development will be remembered.

She extended her heartfelt condolences to President Museveni, the bereaved family, the people of Adjumani District, colleagues in government and all Ugandans mourning the veteran politician.

“May the Almighty Allah forgive his shortcomings, grant him Jannatul Firdaus, comfort his family and loved ones during this difficult time,” Babalanda said.

Gen. (Rtd.) Hon. Moses Ali passed away on Saturday, leaving behind a long legacy in Uganda’s political and military history, having served in several senior government positions over the decades.

Details regarding the burial programme are expected to be announced after consultations between the government and the family.
