    "content": "Casinos are very dangerous and insecure places. They are situated in dangerous places where people die sometimes. They fight and kill each other because they have lost, and they are drunk. There is also prostitution among people who visit the casinos to gamble. It is a terrible place which requires regulations. We require regulations in the casinos because nobody cares who walks in there. Young girls and boys walk in there to drink and enjoy themselves as others gamble. We need to control the people who go into gambling houses, because we are exposing them to very dangerous areas. This is very bad. Although gambling is popular with many people who want to get as much money as possible, it is a very addictive game. It is very difficult to get people out of it. So, we need to look for ways of getting rid of gambling. Gamblers get addicted and become very dangerous members of the society. I do not want to say very much because a lot has been said by the speakers who spoke before me. However, I want to highlight the fact that pata potea businesse s invest little money. Some of the people who win on television are not genuine. They are doctored. Nobody wins those things. You cannot pay Kshs50 and come out with a Mercedes Benz. The winners are doctored. How do people win? You have all cast your dice here in Nairobi, but a winner comes from Mombasa, another one from Nyeri, and Kisumu. It is well distributed geographically. Why do people win in such a very logical geographical arrangement? You get winners from every sector and community in that order? It looks wrong. I do not believe that people win like that. The winners are doctored. Lotteries and betting are not genuine. We are being exploited."
