Veteran Ugandan politician Gen. Moses Ali has been replaced as Second Deputy Prime Minister just weeks after being sworn in as MP for Adjumani West, following widespread public alarm over his declining health and mental sharpness.
The 87-year-old, who has served in the role since 2021, sparked outrage with recent appearances showing him chewing on tissue paper during an event, struggling to sign official documents, and battling clear speech difficulties.
A longtime fixture in Ugandan politics, Ali rose under dictator Idi Amin in the 1970s — taking part in the coup and later serving as Finance Minister — but age has now caught up with one of the country’s most enduring figures.
