    "content": " Hon. Temporary Chairman, the proposal was to introduce VAT to the betting service. We have engaged on this matter a lot and people are moving from betting on our Kenyan firms to bet online. For example, if you open a company in Uganda and operate an online platform, the same habit continues but you do not generate any revenue. You can operate the business from anywhere as it has been demonstrated. The betting firms’ systems are integrated with the Kenya Revenue Authority, which means that the leakages in taxation that we have seen over the years have now been sealed. KRA has a real-time view of the transaction on this platform. It is about balancing something legal in the country, collecting revenue from it, or making the rates too high and moving jurisdiction, the habit continues and we do not raise any revenues from these transactions."
