    "content": " Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, so, it was, therefore, agreed that AUC should organize regional consultative meetings for the member states to endorse the allocated thematic areas and to arrive at consensus on the country to host the regional PAU Institute. During the Eastern African Ministers of education round table meeting held on 20th and 21st April, 2010 at the Hotel Intercontinental, Nairobi, the meeting endorsed the thematic area of basic science technology innovation allocated to the region, but failed to reach a consensus on the host country after Uganda and Tanzania indicated that they were not aware that they could have a bid for the opportunity to host the institute. As such, the high level panel of experts from AUC recommended that all interested countries prepare proposals and submit them to the AUC by 6th May, 2010. The high level of experts evaluated the proposals and in its report, it was recommended that Kenya should host the Eastern African hub. The report was endorsed by Ministers during the COMEDAF 4 Bureau Meeting held in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia from 16th to 18th June, 2010. After the endorsement, the Ministers recommended that AUC communicates the decision of the bureau to all countries whose bids were unsuccessful. The other countries that had expressed interest in the objection in the EA region were Uganda and the Sudan and, so far, no objection has been received from the two countries. The official decision of AUC on allocation of the hub was, however, not yet communicated to our Ministry."
