LT. Gen. Moses Ali, the vice-chairman of the National Resistant Movement in the
north and Forum for Democratic Change's Hassan Kaps Fungaroo, clashed at a
funeral service in Moyo district over political pledges.
Ali and Fungaroo (MP Obongi county) disagreed at the funeral of the former LC5
chairman, Gray Cherubin Onama at his home in Celecelea East in Moyo town
council.
Onama was also the district NRM chairman. Fungaroo said Onama would not have
died if the Government had equipped Moyo Hospital with X-ray machines and
electricity.
He said Onama's medical report showed that some of the investigations into his
health needed electric power which the hospital lacked.
"If we had electricity, according to the medical report, our brother would not
have died. Unfulfiled promises must stop," he said.
Fungaroo said FDC hoped that NRM leaders would live long enough to see the
changes his party would initiate when they take over power.
This annoyed Gen. Ali who answered: "I don't know how many years it will take
FDC to take over power. I also pray that my son Fungaroo will not die soon so
that he can see the years the NRM will rule."
"Lack of power cannot cause death. Even if there's power, if you are to die,
you will die," Ali said.
He said President Yoweri Museveni contributed sh2.5m towards the burial
arrangement.
In his condolence message, Museveni described Onama as "a champion of the
decentralisation policy."
Born on August 24, 1952, in Pamoyi, Metu sub-county, Onama is survived by four
wives and 16 children.
