    "content": "Secondly, as the Motion has put it clearly, we need to know whether the money that is circulating through MPesa or whatever formula they use with electronic media, is taxed. Does the Government get anything out of it? Who are gaining from it? Many people out there are unknown because lotteries and gambling are done in some dungeons, which are not very well pronounced. People make money from those places. Gambling has gone up to the villages. A certain gadget is being sold and they put it in bars and other social places in the villages, where young people go and gamble. Some win and others lose. They spend day and night doing the same. Crimes and other immoral things are generated there. Students have stopped going to school because of gambling. Therefore, this Motion is timely. I support the idea of having a Select Committee because gambling cuts across the board. It has social, financial and legal aspects. If we commit the inquiry into the betting and gambling industry to a certain Departmental Committee, we might find that some aspects touch on other Committees. We cannot mix Committees. Because of the sensitivity of the issue and the way it has been taken, I support the Select Committee. It will be ideal because it will have a timeframe within which to work."
