    "content": "and inconsistencies in law and in the legal framework in as far as the governance of this industry is concerned. . Unregulated betting activities can seriously lead to social ills in our country arising out of compulsive addictive gambling behaviour necessitating the need for a legal framework to regulate it. Within the reading of Article 94 of the Constitution, this House has the function of legislative authority. We must have legislation that will regulate and govern every industry and everything that is done in our country. The objective of the Bill is as follows: This Bill wants to provide a framework for regulating and controlling gambling activities. Hon. Speaker, you remember in a meeting of the House Business Committee where we discussed a secondary school student who used school fees of Kshs17,500 to bet between two Premier League clubs which were playing. This boy decided to bet that both teams would win. Little did he know that the same teams could draw. The teams drew and he lost his money. In the end, he committed suicide because he only bet for both teams to win from different phones but the two teams drew. We need to have that regulation.
