One Gideon Tugume, acting a s a concerned citizen, is the person who has petitioned the Chief Magistrate’s Court in Mengo seeking to have the pageant cancelled on grounds that it ‘promotes prostitution.’

Gideon Tugume has filed his petition primarily against Tourism Minister Godfrey Kiwanda and the organizer of the pageant Anne Mungoma.
