Parliament has on Wednesday morning resolved to introduce a bill which if approved will replace the Betting, Lotteries and Gaming Act in a bid to regulate betting and gambling activities in the country.
Speaking on the floor of the house while submitting a motion regarding Regulation of the Betting Industry in Kenya, Nyeri Town MP Duncan Mathenge emphasised on the need to control the practise in an effort aimed at containing the youth from rampant and irresponsible involvement in the activity.
“I want to thank members for their robust and insightful contribution to this matter and it’s true society must be more central in the new dispensation in as far as controlling betting is concerned…” he said.
