    "content": "become instant millionaires and very rich. If you tell them not to bet, they will say they would not have become millionaires if it were not for betting. I have a liberal mind and I think in as much as we want to regulate betting and gaming in this country we should also act responsibly and provide those who are carrying out the betting and gaming businesses a conducive environment to operate in because people have invested in these businesses, like any other business. For example, when you open a shop, you do not decide who should buy. Whoever wants to buy let him buy responsibly. Similarly, it is like cigarette smoking which in this country we say is harmful, as well as drinking alcohol. However, we have made a law that you can only drink alcohol and smoke if you are over 18 years. We should think of making sure that these businesses operate within the law to become profitable. I hold a different opinion when it comes to betting that we should allow betting businesses to operate in a conducive environment. Also those who want to bet should be allowed to do so. Hon. Speaker, with those few remarks, I support this Miscellaneous Amendment Bill."
