The incident reportedly occurred along Mbale-Tirinyi Road when a vehicle he was traveling in got involved in the fatal accident.
Anita Annet Among, the Speaker of Parliament, expressed her heartfelt condolences on her official Twitter handle.
“I would like to express my heartfelt condolences to His Excellency Yoweri Kaguta Museveni, the family of the late Hon. Simon Peter Aleper, the NRM fraternity, and the Karamoja sub-region on his tragic passing. May the Lord bring comfort to everyone during this difficult time, and may the soul of the departed rest in eternal peace,”said Among.
