Museveni Pays Tribute to Gen. Moses Ali, Calls on Ugandans to Uphold His Legacy
President Yoweri Museveni on Tuesday joined the people of West Nile and the rest of the country in mourning the late Gen. Moses Ali, paying tribute to the veteran leader’s contribution to Uganda’s liberation, peace, and development.
The President laid a wreath on Gen. Ali’s coffin at Parliament, where he honored the former First Deputy Prime Minister and longtime public servant for his dedication to the nation.
Museveni described Gen. Ali as a patriot who rejected the brutality of Idi Amin’s regime and chose to work alongside the National Resistance Movement during the struggle for freedom.
”He made an important contribution to Uganda’s history. He rejected the brutality of Idi Amin’s regime, worked with us in the struggle for freedom, promoted peace, and remained committed to the development of West Nile,” the President said.
Museveni noted that Gen. Ali firmly believed that peace and development are inseparable, saying his leadership left a lasting impact on both West Nile and the country at large.
The President called upon leaders in West Nile and across Uganda to honor Gen. Ali’s legacy by focusing on improving household incomes and advancing prosperity for all citizens.
”I therefore appeal to the leaders in West Nile and the whole country that they should continue working hard to raise household incomes and achieve prosperity,” Museveni said.
He thanked the late Gen. Moses Ali for his years of dedicated service to Uganda and offered condolences to his family, friends, and the people of West Nile.
”I thank him for his service to Uganda and pray that his soul rests in eternal peace,” the President said.
Gen. Moses Ali is remembered as one of Uganda’s most experienced political and military leaders, whose decades of public service contributed to national reconciliation, stability, and development.
