    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I am sorry for the inconvenience. Let me take this opportunity to share my views on this Motion. First, I would like to congratulate the Member for bringing this Motion to the House. It has come at the right time. There is a time I wanted to ask a Question on this matter, but he has now addressed it in the right way by putting the facts together and bringing it as a Motion. You notice that many radio stations, especially vernacular radio stations, are running gaming and betting activities against the law. They are not licensed to engage in gaming. They use 80 per cent of their time on gaming and 20 per cent on news. The radio stations are licensed to broadcast news and advertisements, but they spend most of their time gaming. Their activities have made many Kenyans victims. They ask very simple and obvious questions which anyone can answer. By doing so, they attract unsuspecting Kenyans, who keep trying especially now that people are very desperate. The radio stations are taking advantage of unsuspecting Kenyans who think that they can make money very quickly through gaming. Our youths need a lot of education and counselling. They should be told that they will not get rich quickly. That is what they are trying to do. They think they can get rich very quickly and, therefore, fall prey to the radio stations. The gaming authorities should move swiftly and save Kenyans by coming up with the required policies and regulations. The radio stations give false hopes. It is actually broad daylight stealing from unsuspecting Kenyans. I would advise Kenyans to stop losing money through gaming. What they are following is false. There is no money in it. It is not easy to get the Ksh100,000 you are being promised by the radio stations. Just work hard. Use the money you have for the right thing. Do not speculate that you will get money. There is no money. Even people who are announced on radio stations as having won, if you follow up, you will find that it is not true. Maybe they are just family members or friends with the radio station hosts. The radio stations are lying that you are going to get a lot of money. Hon. Temporary Speaker, I support this Motion. The Government should move swiftly to come up with regulations and the right guidelines for radio stations. They should stop this game right away, so that Kenyans do not lose their money. I support the Motion."
