    "content": "Hon. Speaker, I heard what was said on the corridors today. Last year, out of my interest about the effects of gambling and betting, I formed a Parliamentary Committee to investigate. On the first day, I was supported, but on the second day, no single Member was with me. I did not give up. I want to share some facts with the Members. Fourteen years ago, I came here with a Banking (Amendment) Bill to control interest rates. I have been there before and have seen this. They made sure that there was always something. The banks would always see Members and the legislation met roadblocks. That was different because a very small part of the Kenyan population is banked, but betting affects all constituents. It is a serious menace in this country. I heard a Member on the corridor saying “ Hii tunaangusha”. I am sure some Members have not even read the Bill."
