• 17 Apr 2024 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I want to congratulate the Senate Majority Leader, Sen. Cheruiyot, the Senator for Kericho, for moving this Bill. On a lighter touch, I hope he talks to the Majority Leader in the National Assembly to be fast-tracking our Bills, the way we do here religiously. The only time I have interacted with gambling was when listening to Kenny Rogers who used to sing country music. He sang a song called Coward of the County . The song says that every gambler has his own day and time. When we listen to Sundowner, especially on Sunday evening, that ... view
• 17 Apr 2024 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, please, protect me from the Commissioners who have a problem with the Bunge Tower. I do not want to go there. I know they are firefighting after I came here guns-blazing today at Midday. view
• 17 Apr 2024 in Senate: We need to bring order in the sector. The only problem we have been having is that the Government does not know what gamblers and gambling companies do. Gamblers themselves are not honest. I know that in other religions, it is not good to gamble and we respect that. There is need to widen our tax base network. In fact, as part of a deterrent measure, we should tax gambling, especially on winnings, instead of taxing other essentials, it will reduce taxation. I know the reason Sen. Faki is excited. We need to tax gamblers more because if you are ... view
• 17 Apr 2024 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, as you are aware, we are having a regional meeting in Nairobi. His Excellency the President is the Patron. We are launching Plan No.5 on National Action Plan in Legislative Openness. Kenya is gray in terms of illicit money. It has been found that Kenya has a big problem when it comes to money laundering. My advice to the country is that we must be careful with the issue of money laundering and illicit money in the economy because the moment you are blacklisted, you can never trade outside this country. This is a serious issue and ... view
• 17 Apr 2024 in Senate: country, there are young people who survive on betting earnings? They have to bet to pay rent and live large. When you go to Kilimani and some of these estates, you will see them parking the likes of LX 600. They live large and wear expensive watches and designer clothes nakufanya sherehe kila mahali . Some of them are doing it based on earnings, but it is not predictable. We need the sector to be regulated. If you win, we must tax you, so that when you buy your LX 600, you should get a good road to drive on ... view
• 17 Apr 2024 in Senate: I am comfortable with him informing me today. view
• 17 Apr 2024 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, when you allow some of these points of information and orders, somebody must table a proof. Looking at Sen. Faki, he does not look like somebody who can give out fare. In fact, I do not think so. However, I agree with him that if people are “eating fare” in this town, the courts should take it seriously. Therefore, we must agree on enforcement and ownership. Many young people do win, but they are not being paid. On the issue of licensing, I agree largely. The Senate Majority Leader should note that we need to do a ... view
• 17 Apr 2024 in Senate: Clause 6, which is my closing, is on online gambling. We need to check on it because sometimes they force you to see an advertisement. I know there is an agreement with YouTube on advertisement, but it should be optional. When you open YouTube, social media or a page, they want you to watch it for five seconds, which I always find unfair because you do not want to watch. Maybe you wanted to watch Senate live proceedings, for example, but they just insist on you watching an advertisement. It must be either they are paying taxes to Government to ... view
• 17 Apr 2024 in Senate: win. Those people need rehabilitation, because some of those people do not have job centers on Mondays. We must indicate and notify players to play responsibly and prohibit children from playing. I think we have an obligation to do that, especially on online bullying to children. A number of us have children who are very young. This exposure of social media and online gambling is dangerous to children. We must have a protective mechanism. I am happy there is a Bill by Sen. Ogola on newborn and other issues of children. We must look at the children and the law ... view
