President Yoweri Museveni will on Tuesday join Parliament in paying tribute to former First Deputy Prime Minister and Adjumani East MP, Gen. Moses Ali, before his body is flown to his ancestral home in Adjumani district.
In a communication to Members of Parliament, Government Chief Whip Dr. Jane Ruth Aceng said the President would attend a special parliamentary sitting scheduled for Tuesday morning.
She urged legislators to arrive early to facilitate security arrangements ahead of the President’s arrival. She added that the veteran politician would be laid to rest on Wednesday.
Gen. Moses Ali, one of Uganda’s longest-serving politicians and statesmen, died on Saturday after decades of public service in various senior government positions.
His death has prompted an outpouring of tributes from leaders across the country, with the parliamentary sitting expected to be one of the key national events held in his honour before his final send-off.
