That is why they are seated here. Do not see the glamour and forget that there was work behind that glamour. The gambling culture is being spread in the belief that you can make it immediately. Anybody who tells you “immediately” is a red flag. If any person tells you to put money so that you make money immediately, run away like you are running away from the devil himself. It is good to do hard work. By the time you get your Kenya Certificate of Secondary Education (KCSE), it is many years of hard work.

Go and work hard and you will be successful to the extent that you imagined you would be in life. Mr. Speaker, Sir, with those many remarks, I wish to support the mediated version of the Bill and confidently ask the President to assent to it, so that we can regulate the gambling business. Let us not go back and forth on this matter. Let us have a law and The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Director, Hansard and AudioServices, Senate."
