In fact, I do not even know how to gamble. Unfortunately, as a lawmaker, I have to make decisions that are in the best interests of the people that I represent. Rift Valley, where I come from, is a maker of people who bet. That is where the hard core betting population of this country lives. I know this based on the statistics that I The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Director, Hansard and AudioServices, Senate."

Of course, as has been described by my colleagues, they do not succeed 90 to 99 per cent of the time because that is how gambling works. There is something they always say, the house never loses. The house always wins. Unfortunately, Sen. Olekina, choosing not to regulate this sector is not an option that you want to take. We can decide to ban gambling in Kenya, but are you aware that 60 to 70 per cent of gambling has gone online? Those gambling are on sites that do not even exist in Kenya. Those sites---"

Those sites are operated by very sophisticated software that if you block their Internet Protocol (IP) address this minute, they generate a new one the next minute. Our young people are following those sites. So, we must think of how we will regulate this sector because banning or choosing to close our ears and eyes and saying that this is not allowed in our country is burying our head in the sand."
