That gesture spoke volumes about the kind of leader and father you were."


She praised Moses Ali for his lifelong dedication to national unity, peacebuilding, and mentorship, saying his influence stretched far beyond public office and inspired countless leaders across generations.
Hon. Nyamutoro noted that while the nation mourns the loss of an iconic leader, his enduring legacy of selfless service, wisdom, and commitment to the people of West Nile and Uganda will continue to inspire future generations.


"We are grateful for the impact we witnessed through your leadership and for the countless stories that testify to your remarkable life of service. You fought a good fight, served with distinction, and left behind a legacy that will never be forgotten."
She concluded by extending her deepest condolences to the family of the late Moses Ali, the people of Adjumani West, the West Nile sub-region, and the entire nation, praying that God grants him eternal rest.
"Rest well, Baba, until we meet again."
