    "content": "This Government cannot just concentrate on the revenue side of things. It has a duty to protect its citizens and communities from the harmful effects of gambling. This Government has a duty to prevent large proportions of our population from falling into gambling. This Bill offers no protection to the poorest of the poor. In fact, this Bill moves a step further to entice those who earn below the daily minimum wage into gambling by setting a minimum threshold of Ksh20. Today, our communities are crying out on the Ksh100 that our people are being asked to bet on media houses. What happens when we bring it down to Ksh20? This Bill is short on stopping media houses from conducting gambling business. The Bill seeks to exempt minors from visiting casinos, but how will you do that when radio and television stations have become casinos right inside the living rooms of our families?"
