The business aspect was a meeting with the President of Uganda Museveni. The couple met Museveni at State House in Entebbe and this was two days after they landed the foot in Uganda.

Tourism Minister Ephraim Kamuntu stated that the visit of the couple and the meeting with the Ugandan President were to market Uganda.

The Minister added that the endorsements by Kanye West on social media would help sell Uganda and its natural beauty to the global audience.

Kanye West’s Uganda visit and the following criticism

People from Uganda as well as other parts of the world have criticized Kanye West’s meet with the Ugandan President. The MP from Kyadondo East Robert Kyagulanyi who is famously called Bobi Wine has labeled the meeting as immoral and accused Kanye of using his name to associate himself with a President who is a tyrant and uses his power to restrict freedom and also torture the opposition politicians.

There are many rumors that the Ugandan government may have paid for this trip in order to leverage Kanye’s popularity to boost travel to Uganda.

Kamuntu’s say in this matter

According to Prof. Kamuntu, the couple’s visit to Uganda was a fantastic celebrity endorsement for the country, and the President—who serves as the primary marketer for the nation—wanted to take advantage of this for both personal and national benefit. He, therefore, made an appointment for them to see him and thus was trying to use the couple’s name to promote Ugandan art industries and tourism.

Kamuntu had spoken this at a journalist gathering in Kampala. He said:

“Kanye is not the first one to meet the president but given the status, attraction and fame that he has, meeting the president is very natural. The President is the chief marketer of Uganda. If you’re the country’s marketing manager and Kanye comes, why would you not meet him?”

Kamuntu is certain that after their return, the family will continue to market Uganda since they have experienced first-hand the beauty and hospitality of the country.
Kanye, it seems, has promised that he would work with the Ugandan Government to construct a hospitality training Institute on the soil of Uganda to boost their tourism. Kamuntu further said:

“I have received international calls from all over the world and all of them were asking me about Kanye. Why not join him,”
