General Moses Ali Hospitalised in Kampala as Family Says His Condition Is ‘Not Good‘
By Our Correspondent, Kampala
General Moses Ali, Uganda’s longest-serving Member of Parliament and one of the country’s most influential political figures, has been admitted to Nakasero Hospital in Kampala, with family members revealing that the 87-year-old statesman’s condition is “not good.”
The retired military general, who has represented Adjumani West Constituency for several years, was reportedly admitted to the private medical facility in mid-July 2026.

However, neither his relatives nor government officials have disclosed the nature of the illness or the treatment he is receiving.
The lack of official information has fueled public concern and renewed discussions about the health of one of Uganda’s most senior political leaders.
Family Withholds Details of Illness
Sources close to the family confirmed that General Moses Ali remains under close medical supervision but declined to provide further details regarding his diagnosis.
A family member described his condition as “not good” but appealed for privacy during what they described as a difficult period.
No official medical statement has been issued by Nakasero Hospital regarding the retired general’s health.
Government Confirms Hospitalisation
Uganda’s Minister for ICT and National Guidance, Justine Kasule Lumumba, confirmed that General Moses Ali is receiving medical treatment.
The minister, however, refrained from commenting on the nature of his illness or his prognosis, urging Ugandans and the media to respect the privacy of the family.
Government officials have maintained that any updates regarding his health will come through appropriate official channels.
Renewed Questions Over Health
General Moses Ali’s hospitalisation comes after years of public debate over his health and ability to continue serving in public office.
During the 2025–2026 election period, critics questioned whether his advanced age and visible frailty affected his capacity to effectively represent his constituents.
The controversy intensified when a legal challenge sought to invalidate his parliamentary nomination, arguing that his health allegedly limited his ability to discharge legislative responsibilities.
Despite the legal and political scrutiny, Moses Ali retained widespread political support and successfully won re-election to Parliament, reaffirming his enduring influence in Ugandan politics.

General Moses Ali has remained one of Uganda’s most recognisable political figures for decades.
Beyond serving as Member of Parliament for Adjumani West, he previously held the position of Second Deputy Prime Minister and has occupied several strategic government roles throughout his long career in both military and civilian leadership.
His longevity in public service has made him one of the country’s most experienced statesmen.
