PRESIDENT MUSEVENI RECALLS LATE EZROM WILLIAM ALENYO O.O. DURING PARLIAMENT'S TRIBUTE TO GEN. MOSES ALI

Parliament of Uganda | July 21, 2026


A poignant moment marked Parliament's special sitting on Tuesday as President Yoweri Kaguta Museveni joined Members of Parliament and other national leaders in paying tribute to the late Rt. Hon. Gen. (Rtd.) Moses Ali, one of Uganda's longest-serving statesmen.


As the President greeted legislators before the tribute proceedings, he paused upon meeting Hon. Marshall Alenyo O.O., the Member of Parliament for Jonam County, and asked, "Are you the one called Marshall Alenyo?"


The question was widely interpreted as President Museveni recalling the late Ezrom William Alenyo O.O., the former Local Council V (LCV) Chairperson of the then Nebbi District, before the creation of Zombo and Pakwach districts. The late Ezrom William Alenyo O.O. was a prominent local government leader whose service extended across the wider Nebbi region, now comprising Nebbi, Zombo, and Pakwach districts.
Standing alongside Hon. Marshall Alenyo during the exchange was Hon. Akumu Catherine Mavenjina, the Member of Parliament representing Older Persons, who was also attending the parliamentary tribute.


The brief interaction drew attention from those present, serving as a reminder of the enduring legacy of veteran leaders whose contributions to public service continue to be recognised at the highest levels of government.


The exchange occurred during an emotional parliamentary session dedicated to honouring the life and legacy of Gen. Moses Ali, whose decades of service to Uganda as a freedom fighter, Cabinet Minister, and former Second Deputy Prime Minister were celebrated by leaders across the political spectrum.


The moment added a personal historical dimension to the day's proceedings, highlighting the continuity of leadership and the lasting impact of families that have contributed to Uganda's governance over generations.

By 0770-507-650

A school van transporting pupils under dangerously overcrowded conditions was intercepted on Wednesday morning, raising fresh concerns over the safety of schoolchildren on Uganda's roads.


The interception was made by Dr. Lakisa Mercy Faith, who described the incident as a serious reminder of the dangers posed by negligence in the transportation of pupils.
Speaking after the operation, Dr. Lakisa emphasized that the safety of children must remain a top priority and urged the Traffic Police to intensify enforcement of road safety regulations, particularly against school vehicles operating beyond their legal carrying capacity.


"Our children's safety is non-negotiable," she stated, calling on authorities to take firm action against schools and drivers who endanger the lives of pupils through overloading.
She further appealed to school proprietors, headteachers, and drivers to prioritize the welfare of children over convenience or profit.


"Children are not cargo. They are the future of Uganda. No convenience is worth a child's life," she said.
The incident has renewed public debate on the need for stricter monitoring of school transport services, with stakeholders urging schools to comply with safety standards to prevent avoidable road accidents.


Road safety advocates continue to call for regular inspections of school vehicles and tougher penalties for operators found violating traffic regulations in order to safeguard the lives of learners.
