    "content": "the idea from one Hon. Millie Odhiambo who has indicated that so many people have gone into gambling because of lack of jobs. From where I sit, I have seen so many people especially the young who are getting so interested in these gaming things. Taxing more on these gambling will also enable Government to get more money to finance the Big Four Agenda and the development agenda in this country. Finally, it is also very important that we think about the corruption levels in this country. It has been said before that a lot of money–almost a third of our national Budget – goes into people’s pockets. It is important that we rally behind His Excellency the President and his deputy in their fight against corruption so that we can ensure that taxpayers’ money is put into proper use so that we do not have a country where people pay taxes but do not get value for it. With those few remarks, I beg to support."
