Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. As I reply, I want to thank all the Members for all the support and contributions they have made. Even the Members who are planning to bring amendments are doing so within the mandate they have been given in this House.

We need to regulate that so that they can plough back something to the Government in terms of taxation.

This Bill does not concern county governments. We need to address these issues because of the lotteries that are going on in our country. We need to borrow a leaf from countries that have been doing this for many years so that we do not find ourselves in a situation where it negatively affects our society. We need to protect the society and further amendments will be coming later on so that this can be covered. The Government can collect its taxes, but at the same time we can, thorough legislation, protect Kenyans. The electronic version of the Official Hansard ...
