    "content": "access to gaming facilities. They engage in betting and gaming on football matches and they have become addicted to it. We know very well that is not the best way of life. Three things have taken away our young people: alcohol, gaming, and boda boda. These three things go hand in hand. In the next 20 to 25 years, the challenges that our young people are now facing will be worse than what we are experiencing now. They will try to become real adults, or fathers in families, but they will be unable simply because of their current lifestyle. We have let betting go on without strict regulations. We now need to look at the challenges we are faced with in terms of food insecurity. It is partly because our young people have gone into betting. That is how they think they can make quick money when in real sense it is not what they think. They even forget that they are paying for it. The more you give, it will be returned to you or you will get it from another person. There is nothing much that betting companies are giving them. The betting companies are simply rotating your money and giving it back to you. If we want to resolve that problem, indeed, we must have regulations in place. Leaders and politicians must come out to safeguard the youth. This is because, sometimes we talk against things, but we find ourselves entertaining the same things. We have to be firm against negative things in society even if doing so will hit us hard politically. In the end, people will come to appreciate."
