    "content": "There is also delay in paying of salaries. So, the morale of the people working there is almost zero. We have to rely on equipment to do research. I am told the equipment in Ruiru and other such centres is obsolete. There is nothing we are doing about that. Because the equipment is there, we are supposed to be getting new varieties every other two or three years, but it is taking us as long as 10 years to get new varieties. As a country, where are we heading? You and I know that apart from tea, coffee is also one of the biggest export earners for this country yet we are doing nothing about it. We are busy chasing other things that are not relevant for our country. There is lack of research because as mentioned and as observed by the Committee and rightly so, there are people who are leaving the Institute without replacement. We are heading nowhere in the wilderness."
