    "content": "What we know as foreign exchange has since ceased because we do not know how they will transport this money out of this country. If they are going to send that money to sponsor a club, how do they intend to send it there? Do they have a proforma invoice? Before you send money outside this country, you must have a proforma invoice to show the intended purpose of the money. How do they intend to send Kshs6 billion to Hull City? This is a very serious matter. We should not take it lying low. We are the representatives of the people. This is one of the things which call upon us to act and resolve the concerns of the people. This is a major concern of the people. In fact, students are hanging themselves. As I said, last week, one student was betting one club to win and the other one to lose. He placed Kshs40,000 on both of them. Unfortunately, the two clubs drew. It was not anticipated in the gambling that there would be a draw because this was a quarter final. He lost Kshs80,000. He had pegged all his hopes to win on either club or loss on the other. He lost the entire sum of Kshs80,000 and his life. We must stop people who are attracting students to gambling. We must stop this business. It is not for students to gamble, but to go to school. That is what the laws of this country say."
