The newly appointed minister of environment and tourism plans to capitalize and fully operationalize the lottery and gambling industries.
Minister Indileni Daniel says the initiative is part of the ministry’s mission to drive economic growth and generate revenue for the national treasury.
“Plans to capitalize on and fully operationalize lotteries and gambling boards, as well as the access and benefit sharing office, will be a key focus of mine. This will help generate much-needed revenue for the treasury and improve regulation of these important sectors,” she says.
The minister made these remarks during her first meeting with government officials on Tuesday.
