The statement, which has since caused controversy, was made while launching an event named “Miss Curvy” where ‘sexy curvaceous women’ in the country will compete for a prize.
The minister said: “We have naturally endowed nice looking women that are amazing to look at. Why don’t we use these people as a strategy to promote our tourism industry?
If you see a Munyankole woman with curves, there is a story behind that…It will be a beautiful event where young women will showcase their beautiful curves are intellect…Our beauty is not about slimy girls only.” .
Tourism is a top foreign exchange earner for Uganda and the country last year earned $1.4 billion from the sector.
However, social media critics have punched holes in Kiwanda’s initiative, describing it as a move to advertise prostitutes.
