4 Aug 2016 in National Assembly:
From the look of the Motion, I can see that it is maybe one of the few good things that have come from that coalition. I want to thank them and support it. For the first time, they are addressing issues concerning the people of Kenya. This matter is serious and before this House, there is a Bill from the National Treasury, namely, the Betting and Gambling (Amendment) Bill, which the House Business Committee has shelved, so that we can discuss this matter. It is supposed to do many things including coming up with regulations. I hope this Committee, if ...

Basically, anyone with a mobile phone can gamble in Kenya, particularly, sports betting, which at times has little or no subscription fees. We are dealing with a matter of disclosures as it relates to online gambling. Gambling is a major international commercial activity with a legal gambling market totaling to an estimated value of Kshs40 trillion. When it comes to gambling, many jurisdictions in the United States of America (USA) and Europe have very strong, stringent regulations and licensing policies. The question is whether this is found in the Kenyan market. Is there disclosure on the part of those who ...

on in the financial sector. All the money that moves in the financial sector in our country can now be monitored. This Parliament and previous Parliament created specific legislation. Today, as a country, we are proud of the Financial Reporting Centre, the Asset Recovery Centre and the Anti-Money Laundering Advisory Board. Do these institutions, which look at the movement of money and proceeds, have any disclosure or information on the kind of money that moves within these betting and gambling institutions? No, they do not. We must have regulations. The other problem is money laundering, terrorism and drug financing. We ...

The matter that is raised by the Leader of the Minority Party is serious. It touches on the functions and the composition of the HBC, which you chair. On Tuesday this week, the HBC balloted this Motion. The leadership that is supposed to be in the HBC is automatically the two leaders of the two coalitions. It is Hon. Nyenze and I. The record and the minutes of the HBC will show that Hon. Nyenze has not been attending the HBC. I am ready to table them. He has not been attending the HBC for more than three months now. ...

printed by the Office of the Clerk and not me. It reads at the top “Party Sponsored”. I did not print it. There are only two coalitions, namely, Jubilee and CORD. This House is not a diaper or a toilet paper. You cannot use it the way you feel like. If you do not attend the HBC, then go to the Clerk’s Office and read the minutes of the HBC. That is why every day, at the rise of the House at 6.30 p.m., before we start the agenda, you read the minutes of the previous meeting to confirm them.
