    "content": "On the issue of money laundering, Sen. Sigei, you have done extremely well on this matter. We must address money laundering. We do not want people to be stealing money and putting it into betting. This is the process of money laundering and reintegrating the illicit money into the system. Clause 71 is on penalty. I disagree on this. I think by deleting the amount of Kshs 5 million and replacing it with Kshs3 million--- I thought we had agreed. While we do not want to morally legislate, why would you reduce? We want this to be punitive. We want people who want to gamble to be people who have excess money, like Sen. Issa and Sen. Faki. We want people who have a lot of money to gamble this Kshs 5 million. I am happy Sen. Issa is proud of it, that the Kshs 3 million should stay. I hope when it comes to the Committee of the Whole, that issue can be relooked. Clause 87 is on television. I agree. On this one, remove the restriction that a gambling advertisement shall not be broadcast on television between 6.00 a.m. to 10.00 p.m. unless it is done on a live sporting event. I agree because most of our children, who are part of your guests today, are asleep at that time. Then we can do a Parental Guidance (PG), so that those adverts of betting and gambling can be done during the watershed moment and also protect our children who are under 18 years. I disagree with the proposal to reduce the fine from the Kshs20 million to Kshs 1million or imprisonment for 20 years. Why do you want to reduce from the amount from Kshs20 million to Kshs1 million? This is wrong. Any media that advertises beyond the restricted time should be fined 20 million. With those many recommendations, I beg to differ and will oppose with all my body organs when it comes to voting."
