Hon. Temporary Speaker, it is clear that this is a disguise. Why would a brand name in the broadcasting industry register a pay bill number under a different name? The fact that there is no control over this game has left our secondary school-going children and our young people in tertiary institutions addicted to betting under the guise of quick cash. Some of them even use money meant for school fees in these activities. No wonder we have very high truancy, abstentions, and dropout rates in schools, including even failure to complete education rates. Incidents of suicide that we have seen on the rise especially among young people and family members have a direct linkage to the financial ruin that families that can least afford to lose money are going through. It is important to note that this House, as a representative of the people, has a responsibility to safeguard the rights of Kenyans. We have a responsibility to ensure that the economic activities of certain firms are conducted within the law."
