The fete was first conducted on 7^th May 2012 with the then minister, Hon Margaret Kamar chairing the inauguration at the same venue.

 This year’s exercise focused on the realization of Kenya vision 2030 and beyond objectively to celebrate culture with technology.

 Improvement of healthy living in African countries came by as a result of biotechnology through the use of available natural resources.
