Clause 153 of the Bill will help Members to understand how this Bill will protect children from the effects of gambling. When we went round we found the Chinese machines which the Ministry of Interior tried to mop up in the country. Children went to an extent of stealing from their parents to gamble and most of them failed to go to school.

21 Nov 2019 in National Assembly:
In Clause 110, we have made it a must that all slotting machines be located inside licensed casinos, where Government officers can monitor them. This is so that, children do not access the gaming premises. We have also talked about illegal gaming machines being certified from their source of origin. The Kenya Bureau of Standards (KEBS) and other authorities should be involved. This will ensure Kenyans are not conned through delivery of fake Chinese machines which find their way into the country and are assembled somewhere around Kericho. The public was wondering how customs allowed such equipment into Kenya without ...

21 Nov 2019 in National Assembly:
money collected from Kenyan players ended in offshore companies. Kenya lost a lot of money because of this. We proposed that if a foreigner wants to establish a gaming firm, he must have a Kenyan shareholder at the level of 30 per cent. We also proposed to have a mechanism known as real time monitoring system. This is where the Board will put up servers which will track all the betting monetary transactions from players so that Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA) can access the amounts Kenyans have played for the purposes of knowing how many taxes to levy. As a ...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I am supposed to move the Gaming Bill, 2019, but due to its importance, I would wish to have enough time while moving it before the House breaks. I would also want to have as many Members in the House as possible. I ask that we postpone it to tomorrow, so that we can address it adequately.

9 May 2019 in National Assembly:
Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. Our Committee was supposed to deal with two proposed amendments with regard to the Tourism Act No.28 of 2011. As the Leader of the Majority Party indicated, the amendments are meant to cure some ambiguities that exist in the Act. In the definition, the word “university” is missing. We know that we have many universities offering tourism and hospitality programmes. Therefore, there is need for including in the definition what “university” means. This is further addressed through another amendment to Section 68(f), where another ambiguity exists. Here, training institutions are mentioned without making reference ...
