Asman Kamama as the Chairman of Departmental Committee on Administration and National Security. I realise there are many Member who would wish to be part of this investigation. I want to plead with members that whatever we investigate will be a product of this House. All that matters is that this industry and whatever its effects to our society cannot go unchallenged by this Parliament. Article 95 of our Constitution requires this House to deal with issues that affect the society. I know that this is an issue that seriously affects our society. We are talking about issues of transparency in this sector. The little that I know that we stand to investigate is that the internet platform and phone networks that are being used--- We do not know if anybody audits them. We want to call them so that they can tell us. The issue we must deal with is that of the regulator. Who regulates this gambling industry? Who regulates the sports industry? There is somebody on payroll who is supposed to have been on duty to make sure that things did not get to where they are now. It is not possible because, if listening to Kenyans, there is somebody who is not the Government that has the ability to raise Kshs3 billion a day and not report to the Government. It is not possible. If those issues are true and we must investigate, we must know what the share of the Government is and what this money is used for. There are even allegations that some of these gambling companies have their ownerships offshore. They are people who could easily pass for"
