    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, this is a dicey matter. The fact that these companies are supporting AFC Leopards, which is my team and that of Sen. Sakaja, does not necessarily cure the problems that are created by these betting firms. However, it is a contradiction for the Government to license betting firms and then claim that they are not paying taxes. Third, the controversial Statute Law (Miscellaneous Amendments) Bill, 2019 that was in the National Assembly reduced the level of taxation of betting firms as opposed to increasing it. Therefore, when the national Government claims that there are unpaid taxes by these firms, it raises concerns. Lastly, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the social aspect that Sen. Murkomen raised cannot be ignored; that is people are losing their families and the youth are gambling and wasting money. Therefore, some regulation and format of law on this matter must be considered. For example, the gentleman running SportPesa was a captain of Kenya Airways (KQ) but he was retrenched. So, it is not possible to verify the work that he is doing without necessarily identifying the problem that he has caused. While Sen. Malalah The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate."
