"content": "cases where university students have used their school fees or pocket money to gamble and leave their families distressed. It is important that, at this particular point in time, we thank the Committee for coming up with such a comprehensive Bill to deal with issues to do with gaming and related activities. It is a voluminous and fairly extensive Bill. There are a few issues that have come up very clearly, which we will have to address when we go to the Committee of the whole House. Allow me to mention some of the issues that are coming out very clear that will require to be addressed. The main issue is on Clause 7, which is on the composition of the board. It seems that the board is heavily tilted towards Government mandarins to an extent that it is a Government- controlled body with very little input from other bodies. The objective of the Bill was to have shared responsibility between the national Government and the county governments. Looking at the composition of the board, it would seem that it is more or less heavily populated by the national Government and, therefore, defeating the very objective of the Bill."
