The Leader of the Majority in Kenya’s National Assembly, Kimani Ichung’wah, condemned the rising menace of gambling among the country’s youth and voiced strong support for the newly proposed Gambling Control Bill.
He underlined the growing concern over the industry’s unchecked growth and its potential to destroy the hopes and futures of young Kenyans.
The MP said the bill is a vital step to safeguard Kenya’s youth from the social ills linked to unregulated gambling.
Highlighting the devastating social consequences, Ichung’wah stressed the urgent need to regulate the betting industry to protect the future of Kenya’s young generation. “Betting has become a menace in our society, contributing to rising delinquency among our youth…” he said.
