"content": "On the issue of taxes, the KRA will only collect taxes from bodies whose infrastructure, in terms of policy and registration enables them to collect taxes. If you find a betting company giving one person, say, Kshs42 million, which Hon. Jakoyo Midiwo has rightly stated is about 2 per cent, you can imagine what 100 per cent is. This is money that can be used to develop this country, especially in the field of corporate social responsibility. There are very many street children and homeless families in this country. The only reason they give the money to people who win the bets is to market themselves so that more people can get involved in betting. The reason is not to help the society. That is why we are saying that this law is timely. It is critical that we pass it so that we can bring sanity in this market. Even as we have more people going to those platforms, they can be regulated."
