Veteran politician and former First Deputy Prime Minister Gen Moses Ali has died.
Former minister Captain Mike Mukula announced that Moses Ali died at Nakasero Hospital at 4:25 p.m. on July 18, 2026.
In a statement, Mukula described the late general as a patriot, freedom fighter and statesman who dedicated his life to Uganda.
“He devoted his life to the service of Uganda. His contribution to the struggle for peace, national unity, stability and reconstruction will forever remain engraved in the history of our nation,” Mukula said.
He said Moses Ali was “a courageous soldier, an astute leader, and an elder statesman whose wisdom, humility, and unwavering commitment to Uganda inspired generations of leaders and citizens alike.”
Mukula extended condolences to President Yoweri Kaguta Museveni, the Government and people of Uganda, the family of Moses Ali, the people of Adjumani District, the West Nile sub-region and all Ugandans mourning his death.
He said the late general’s legacy would endure through the values he championed during decades of public service.
“His life reminds us that true greatness is measured not by the offices one occupies, but by the lives one touches and the nation one helps to build,” Mukula said.
He urged Ugandans to celebrate Moses Ali’s life of honour, duty and sacrifice, saying his example would continue to inspire future generations to serve the country with integrity and selflessness.
