Uganda’s State Minister for Tourism, Godfrey Kiwanda on Monday unveiled the competition that adds adds curvy and sexy Ugandan women to the list of tourism products to attract tourists.

“As Archbishop and on behalf of the entire Church of Uganda, we condemn the proposed Miss Curvy Uganda beauty pageant and urge the sponsors and partners to cancel it. It undermines the dignity of women and all that we as a church have worked for to advance girl-child education and opportunities for women to take their part in contributing fully to our national and family development,” Ntagala said.

He added, “It is a disgusting display of exploitation and brings shame upon our families and our country. The government is promoting trafficking to increase tourism. To present such a programme is to demonstrate how low we have fallen as a country. We cannot accept it and we insist that It be cancelled.”
