"content": "There is Betting, Lotteries and Gaming (Amendment) Bill before this House, the one we have just read. It is aimed at introducing fairness and equity in the tax regime. This is where I have a serious issue. First, this Bill wants to deal with equity in the tax regime. It is supposed to protect members of the public against fraud and is supposed to stimulate economic tourism and create employment as well as eradicate illegal gambling through the promotion of responsible gambling, but the issue is bigger than that. Due to the many stringent laws and increasing regulatory pressure in Europe and America, many of them are coming to Africa to have branches. They see Africa as the emerging market for gambling. This cannot take place in Europe and USA because there are very strong regulatory measures which this Parliament must put in this Bill."
