    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I also rise to support and congratulate the Member. I support the regulation of betting. Betting and gaming are very addictive and most of the people cannot handle the addiction that comes with it. In that case, we have lost very many families because we find that people have gone into gaming and they have lost because of lack of knowledge. Before you get into gaming, you need to have the knowledge of the game. Majority of the people get into the game without the knowledge. They, therefore, lose in these games and after that they begin to look for ways of recovering what they have lost by getting into criminal activities. We have seen people who have gone to the point of stealing from their families. We have had youth or students taking school fees and use the same on betting and gaming activities. Therefore, I am very happy and grateful that today we are discussing this. I am also grateful to the Member for bringing this Motion on regulating betting. I am in support that we should regulate our gaming activity or the entire betting so that it can be done with a lot of decency in our country. Thank you."
