    "content": "Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I support the idea of having a Joint Select Committee. Betting has destroyed many children and families. Looking at this matter in a serious manner will help our country and what is proposed as tax may not cushion or be of value compared to the destruction caused by this emerging issue. In almost every village that has a canteen, betting is taking place and children run away from school to go and bet. The time spent in betting is creating a gambling nation as the Leader of the Majority Party puts it. It is serious and the owners of these companies might not even be Kenyans yet they are taking money and impoverishing people thus increasing people’s suffering. Withdrawing this Bill to form a Committee to look at this issue in a more thorough way is good. They should come up with proper regulations to govern this industry."
