"content": "I am told by the year 2014, the observations were that most of the staff that were key to the Institute were almost retiring. It is mandatory that at certain age, you go. The Committee has come up with recommendations which as Members of the Committee, we just have to follow up for implementation if we are serious. Observations and recommendations have been made and the question is how to implement them. We have a Committee on Implementation in this House. Therefore, we have to follow them up, so that we can revive the coffee sector in this country. The other thing is that coffee, tea and pyrethrum, being the main export earners for this country were merged into Agriculture and Food Authority (AFA) which, as we speak, has no substantive board. So, where are we as a country? We do not have AFA Board. People are there on acting capacity. They are supposed to look at the Pyrethrum, Coffee and Tea Boards which were dissolved. They are supposed to have a substantive board. Currently, there is no chairperson, and I am told that the Managing Director is on acting basis. So, we have a problem."
