Guinea government has announce a temporal suspension on beauty pageantry following public outrage over bikinis.
The ban came after the conclusion of a beauty pageant held at the weekend with the beauty queens appearing with swim wears, parading in front of the Prime minister Mamady Youla
Angry protesters took their criticism of the event to the social media accusing the prime minister of encouraging prostitution with his appearance at the event
While others said the swim wears used by the beauty queens is a show of shame to the Guinean culture
The ban will remain in place until a committee set up to establish new code of ethics concludes its work. The government has said.
Guinea’s Culture Minister, Siaka Barry, said the government had terminated its contract with the organisers of the pageant.
