Kampala, Uganda | URN | Concern is mounting over the health of veteran politician and retired military officer Gen. (Rtd) Moses Ali, who remains admitted at Nakasero Hospital after being hospitalized earlier this week.
The 87-year-old former Second Deputy Prime Minister has been receiving treatment at the private health facility since the beginning of the week, according to sources familiar with the matter.
On Friday morning, members of Gen. Ali’s family held a closed-door meeting at the hospital. Several of his children, including some who travelled from outside Uganda, were seen arriving at the facility throughout the day.
Among those at the hospital was his son, Ali Siraj, the Minister of State for Works. When approached by Uganda Radio Network after the family meeting to provide an update on his father’s condition, Siraj declined to comment, saying only: “Please don’t write it.”
