    "content": "As the Committee looks into this, they should look at the bigger picture of families. I know some families are breaking up because of this. I know of a family where the father, a serious gambler, ended up spending the money he is sent to buy meat. We have seen children who, instead of paying school fees spend it on gambling. Even sadaka in church has reduced because instead of taking sadaka, people use the money to gamble. You cannot get anywhere through shortcuts. As the Committee will be looking into this matter, they should look at the bigger picture. Where I come from, chiefs no longer allow this because it has become a security threat. I am aware there is also a government policy banning this. So, as you come up with recommendations, look at the existing policies for the bigger good of the public and the entire family and children. I thank you, Hon. Speaker. I am reluctantly opposing it."
