The senior Tourism Minister, Prof Ephraim Kamuntu has said he supports the controversial campaign recently launched by his junior minister Godfrey Kiwanda to use “curvy women” to attract tourists to Uganda.

Prof Kamuntu says he supports the pageant and encourages women with curves to register for the pageant:

“The private sector is so creative when it comes to marketing tourism. We support it. Let those who have curves come and show us, if you do not have, then don’t come,” he said.
