Jumwa who inaugurated the 17 members in her office on Wednesday said it was paramount to form a committee that will plan the whole event.
“The East African Community Central Council proposed Kenya to host this year’s celebration celebrations and because the event falls under my ministry we suggested we form a committee to organize the event,” said Jumwa.

Members from the East Africa community will be represented if will be held on 7th July this year.
