Why State should regulate gambling

Kenya has lately witnessed a steady growth of the middle class, technological advancements as well as growth of infrastructure. On the other hand, existing companies have grown and new ones emerged with the zeal to meet the demands of the swelling middle class.

Some of the new companies that have taken the country by storm include betting firms and people are now gambling all the over the country. However, what most Kenyans don’t know is gambling is not the solution to our problems. In fact, we end up losing more money than we make. We need to work instead.

My other worry is that even children are betting. While it is illegal for children to bet, no one is talking about it. We need to regulate gambling and the advertisements that go with it so we can transform Kenya from a gambling to a working nation.
