    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. Thank you very much my friend, Hon. Mathenge from Nyeri Town Constituency for bringing up this Motion. I will begin by saying that I was very fortunate to go for benchmarking in Las Vegas and London last term in 2018 and we came up with serious regulations. I would begin by noting that the problem in our country is not gambling and betting but our society and what we call financial exclusion of many people. That is why we need financial inclusion in this matter. Betting is not bad, but overindulgence is. We have seen very many benefits of betting in our country like the sports fund that is now fully financed by betting. People who are overindulging in this matter are the ones to blame. Let our society act responsibly. Let us have what we call financial inclusion of every member of this society and we will have no issues of betting. Otherwise, getting rich very quickly is dangerous and there is no shortcut in life. It is very difficult to summarise what I wanted to say within those few minutes. I beg to support and congratulate the Hon. Member for bringing this on the Floor of the House. Thank you."
