    "content": "Hon. Deputy Speaker, media houses in this country are licensed to inform, educate and disseminate news to Kenyans. However, in the history of this country, Kenyans have been left at the mercy of cartels exploiting them at every turn. Right from the onset of the infamous DECI Pyramid Scheme, other con games have happened. We have seen ordinary Kenyans lose their savings through Ekeza Sacco, Lesedi Developers and many other such activities that are neither licensed nor regulated. In all these activities, media houses have been right at the centre in terms of advertising and promoting such games. Apparently, media houses seem to have been on a learning mission and, having learnt from the best, they have now joined the gravy train promoting their own lotteries against the licences issued by the Communications Authority of Kenya (CA). They are neither registered as betting firms and agencies by the Betting Control and Licensing Board (BCLB). The Media Council of Kenya (MCK), which is supposed to be a self-regulating body of media houses, has kept absolute silence and even evaded responding to concerns raised by Kenyans."
