The Betting and Licensing Control Board does check the books of organisations that are involved in lotteries. But the world over, lotteries have got a way of dealing with a situation where there is no 100 per cent guarantee. Unfortunately, Kenyans are very gullible and are people who like to bet. So, from time to time, they get taken for a ride. We are in the process of bringing legislation to this House to set up a national lottery. Once we do that, other than promotion lotteries, there will be no other lotteries to be operated in this country."}
