“I have a laboratory at my farm for research purposes, and I have already bought the equipment,” Ruto said.
The President did not provide detailed information about the type of research expected to take place at the facility.
However, he indicated that the laboratory would help support modern farming methods and improve productivity.
Ruto has previously spoken about the importance of agriculture, innovation, and food production in the country.
The remarks attracted attention online, with Kenyans discussing the role of technology and research in farming.
Some supporters welcomed the idea, saying research could help improve agricultural output and modernise farming practices.
Others questioned the scale and purpose of the facility, leading to further debate on social media.
The President made the remarks as the government continues promoting agricultural reforms and food security programmes across the country.
Agriculture remains one of the key sectors of Kenya’s economy, supporting millions of households and businesses.
Leaders and agricultural experts have continued encouraging investment in technology, research, and modern farming techniques to increase production.
So far, there has been no official announcement regarding whether the laboratory will work with public institutions or private researchers.
More reactions are expected as discussions continue about the laboratory and its role in agricultural research and innovation.
