    "content": " Thank you very much, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I rise to support this Bill. I used to bet some time back. I want to say that it is sickening when you are waiting to receive the money. Too many people have suffered from stress. Others have borrowed without refunding because they felt that if they continued betting, their lives would be better. If we have regulations for managing this industry, people will do more productive work than just betting. Too many people have committed suicide because of losing money they had borrowed. If you tune into radio stations, you will note that there is no much discussion apart from betting. The messaging is very attractive such that people believe that if they bet with Ksh10 or Ksh5, they will win millions of shillings. They hang on there and even forget to attend to their duties. They might be earning a salary of Ksh30,000 per month but get excited when they get the sweet information that you can make a million in a day by betting with Ksh10 or Ksh50. You can imagine how unproductive a society can be when people rely on betting. We must have regulations in place. When we heard about the LGBTQ, our people were asking whether they will be given money by being in that group. Everything is resonating around money, and not how productive one can be. I support this. If regulations are put in place, we will have a more productive ground to play in. Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker."
