Murang'a Woman Representative Sabina Chege has called on the government to ban betting.
According to Chege, a majority of youth are losing a lot of quality time trying their luck in betting.
The lawmaker stated that it is alarming when university and college students gamble their school fees with an aim of enriching themselves.
She stated that betting companies are minting millions of shillings but a small percentage of what they generate benefits ordinary citizens.
“Majority of our young people have embraced betting, making them not to think about matters that will shape their future. By analysing how betting works, you will realise that the betting companies are making millions of money and only a small number of people are announced as winners,” saidChege.
Chege was speaking on Tuesday when she gave scholarships to youths in Murang’a to pursue technical courses
