"content": "gaming games are in the sporting area. Our former veterans in football, athletics and other sports are languishing in poverty. Later on, we shall be speaking to the Chairman so that our sports people also benefit from the proceeds of betting and gaming activities. This Bill also establishes a National Gaming Authority. This authority has been given the task of controlling the licensing of who will be involved in betting. This is very important because currently, everybody is in the field and we do not know them. There is no total control over who is in this particular field. I therefore think that this law has come at the correct time and we need to panel beat it to fit the Kenyan society as it is now. I also notice that the Bill has brought onboard online gambling and betting. It had not been captured. It is a good Bill and I support it. I am looking forward to several amendments as we deal with it. If we control this particular sector, then we shall be able to manage the players and everybody involved with it. But if we leave it to hang the way it has been hanging, then it will continuously occur within the society as an illegal and underground business, which will give too much profits to the players without the Government making anything from those profits. Hon. Speaker, with those few remarks, I support."
