    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. As the Chair of the Departmental Committee on Agriculture and Livestock has said, this was as result of a request by Hon. (Dr.) Eseli Simiyu to look into the state of CRI. We visited the institute and looked at it very closely. As we all know, coffee is one of our major crops in Kenya, apart from tea and flowers. It is one of our foreign exchange earners from its export. The state of the coffee industry in Kenya has been declining. Many farmers are dependent on this crop, especially in the counties which grow it. There are two major coffee varieties, namely, Arabica and Robusta, but it is mainly the Arabica variety that is grown in Kenya. We also found that two main varieties are being researched at CRI. As it has been explained, the research has slowed down. They produce a new variety of coffee every 10 to 11 years, which is a long time. It has been a long time since they got a new variety of coffee which is very serious. As it has been outlined, this has been as a result of the kind of equipment at the research Institute. It is not totally deserted as Hon. (Dr.) Eseli said. However, it has not been given funding for a long time."
