“What Is Their Problem With Me, Let The People Of Adjumani Decide My Fate” Gen Moses Ali Finally Breaks Silence Following Online Criticism Of His Age & Health

At 86 years old, General Moses Ali, the long-serving Member of Parliament for Adjumani West, has broken his silence in response to mounting criticism over his age and health. In a firm and heartfelt message, the veteran politician made it clear that he has no intention of bowing out of politics based on public opinion or social media commentary.

“What is their problem with me?” he asked bluntly, referring to the growing number of voices online urging him to step aside. “Let the people of Adjumani decide my fate,” he added, emphasizing that only his constituents—not outsiders—have the authority to determine his political future.

In recent weeks, debates over Moses Ali’s ability to serve have intensified, with some Ugandans citing his advanced age and health as reasons he should retire from active leadership. But within Adjumani West, the sentiment is quite the opposite. His supporters have fiercely defended him, expressing unwavering loyalty and insisting they see no replacement for the man they call their leader.

“Who told you I can’t lead them?” he challenged, speaking directly to his critics. “If the people of Adjumani still want me, so it be.” His tone was unwavering, revealing both confidence and the deep-rooted connection he holds with his community.

For decades, General Moses Ali has stood as more than a political figure in Adjumani—he is a symbol of progress and continuity. His role in championing infrastructure development, improving education, and amplifying Adjumani’s voice on the national stage has earned him enduring respect among his constituents.

His defiant response comes amid a wave of local support that has captured national attention. Two powerful quotes from residents have gone viral: “Even if you can’t walk or talk, we still want you as our MP.” This overwhelming devotion has surprised many observers, but for the people of Adjumani, it reflects a deep bond rooted in decades of trust and service.

As Uganda moves closer to its next general election, one question looms large: Will General Moses Ali seek another term? While he has yet to confirm his intentions, the answer from Adjumani West appears undeniable. Not only are his constituents willing to support him—they’re urging him to run again.

To Moses Ali, the message is clear: no outsider can determine the end of his political journey. That decision rests solely with the people of Adjumani—those who have walked beside him, benefited from his leadership, and still believe in his vision. And from their voices, one thing is certain—they’re not ready to let go.
