    "content": "and I am glad that the Leader of the Majority Party has proposed that it be postponed. Gambling is like drug addiction. People are addicted to it and they are doing all manner of things to get money for gambling. People gamble with school fees, salaries, land and cars. Parents are going through a lot of pain with their children who are addicted to gambling. People surrender their salaries for gambling and they cannot even go to work. They are given a consolation that when one loses, they get a better bet the next day. People should know that you cannot make money from gambling. There is need for public education. The Act is very simple, but we are talking about internet banking, Mpesa and means of communication. This issue needs to be looked into, so that the Government can get money. I support the idea that a Select Committee be formed to come up with better regulations to deal with gambling because with the new technology, the issue has gone beyond what it is used to be."
