    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I rise to support the Bill. It is about time that we regulated gambling in Kenya. It is unfortunate that most of our populace is being exploited by gambling companies and media houses, which take the little that they have without investing the same back into our communities. For instance, media houses and gambling companies may offer a prize of a car worth Ksh2.5 million. The viewer may be required to contribute Ksh200 to be in the running to win the car. The gambling amount to the viewer is around say Ksh200,000. If only a million Kenyans gambled for that asset worth Ksh2.5 million, they make Ksh200 million. This is not money that they have invested to generate interest. It is money from the pockets of impoverished Kenyans. It is, therefore, imperative for this House to ensure that a substantial amount of the profits made from gambling are ploughed back into the community."
