    "content": "The Bill is also timely because when the old Act was in operation, there were no county governments. Devolution was not there. So, it is time that this Act is replaced with the new one. This Bill seeks to establish several agencies like the National Gaming Authority, which will enforce regulations and issue licences. It also establishes the Gaming Appeals Tribunal, which will solve gambling-related disputes. It also establishes the National Lottery and the National Lottery Distribution Trust Fund, which will retain money that will be generated from lottery and then distribute it to the funds. According to a recent survey, a great proportion of youths in this country engage in betting. The vast majority of them use their phones to place their bets. However, this Bill will restrict the use of telecommunication platforms as media for gambling. In addition to these restrictions, there is a requirement of a minimum of Kshs50 as the amount of money that one can bet with. This requirement will weed out thousands of youths who want to gamble."
