KALRO Director-General Dr. Eliud Kireger said staff management and leadership skills are key ingredients of managing public institutions such as KALRO and it was imperative for all staff to understand public sector processes and procedures to help them to manage their workstations. Dr. Kireger urged Institutes and Centre Directors to operate within the precincts of the law, and institutional policies while at the same time upholding national values. 

Dr. Kireger said KALRO has witnessed major breakthroughs in research areas such as crops, livestock, and biotechnology, as a result of dedicated staff out on a mission to make a difference in the country.
