    "content": " I can remember it very well. Having been a colleague of mine, I thought we would meet out there then I expound on that particular issue. Since he needs an answer, the CRI is under the Ministry of Agriculture and Livestock Development. In terms of collective responsibility, I will attempt to answer that particular question. We are getting coffee seedlings from the CRI. In fact, through the Coffee Revitalization Strategy, we have engaged the CRI. You will remember that when the Agriculture and Food Authority (AFA) was introduced in 2012, farming became an issue. That is why you can see every agricultural sector, including sugarcane and coffee, coming up with their own legislation. That will stimulate the CRI. Since 2012, the CRI has been underfunded. Using part of the money that we are being given, which is Kshs500 million, most of the money will go to the CRI to activate it to produce more seedlings for our farmers. In fact, they are now mobbing up all the seedlings in the country for this particular strategy. That particular organisation is being revived. It is one of the strategies that I am grateful to the management of the CRI, under Dr. Gichuru, that they are doing a good job to make sure that we revive the coffee sector."
