    "content": "“There shall be a tax known as price competition tax, chargeable at the cost of entry of competition which is a premium rate at the rate of 15 per cent of the total turnover”. We do not even know what the turnover is. We shall put that tax at 20 per cent until we agree on regulations on how they inform the State about their income and activities. We will do that. I know they may think we are joking, but it is now before us. This country must put itself in a scenario where the owner of the money is the State and not hustlers. We cannot create a hustling State. It is not possible that this House and all of us shall just keep watching while somebody is doing what we obviously know is wrong. In Russia, gambling was the in thing. However, in 1996, they abolished it. That is a rich country; it is not as poor as ours. Our inflation rate now stands at 6 per cent while the unemployment rate stands at 38 per cent. This is the case and yet somebody wants to make us poorer and poorer. We do not wish to abolish this but we wish to regulate and we must regulate."
