    "content": "money has reached their target, they close and the website disappears. They then come to Kenya and do the same. Once they hit their target, they do the same. To require companies or individuals, especially foreigners who want to engage in this business must put a substantial deposit, then this report is carrying the wishes of many of us who debated this on the Floor of this House. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I also like the fact that this report has carried the idea that on the local scene, the advertisements for gambling must be discouraged during the time our children are there or when they are still awake. When you travel to foreign countries, the adverts for gambling are aired mostly at night. However, in this country, there are many of them. As has been said by the previous speaker, before we enact this law, you find that there are many adverts in our radio and television sets. This proposed law, when assented to by the President, will get rid of this. It has also made a significant step forward in controlling gambling. I do not gamble because I was taught by my parents not to do so. As parents, we have the responsibility to teach our children that the question of pata potea is not part of our culture. At the end, we must teach our children that hard work is the only way you will make it in life. Mr. Speaker, Sir, this reminds me of many years ago when I was considering to open my first law firm in Mombasa. I went to seek advice from senior practitioners. It is almost 40 years and I can still remember one who told me: “Mungatana, there is no shortcut to success. You see where I am, I have worked hard.”"
