Such a contrast between two giant Media stations! @ntvkenya creates awareness on how aviator has destroyed lives while @citizentvkenya heavily promotes aviator to millions of its unsuspecting vulnerable viewers #KamataYaKamari

Nchini Kenya, mchezo wa kamari umewavuta wengi katika mzunguko wa matumaini ila hatimaye akiba zinayeyuk...

Kile kilichoanza kama mchezo hugeuka kuwa minyororo na hatimaye kuwanasa kama mtego wa panya.

Kamari ni adui anayekuja kwa tabasamu, ila tabasamu sumu. Huahidi kesho njema lakini huchukua leo yako na kukukosesha kesho...

Gambling Journey ni safari shetani atashinda akipangua. Kama umeanza, Shuka next stage!

[#TahadhariAthariZaKamari @gamaware254]

No benefit here, as alleged by @ntvkenya. Gambling is a demerit good! Kenya doesn’t need “savings through betting”. The poorest, the jobless, the addicted will carry the burden as the gvt frame it as “responsible savings.” You can’t fix a social wound by monetizing it!

Betting With Benefits:

Millions of gamblers will soon be forced to cede a portion of their betting stakes to SHIF and pension in line with legal changes that will make gambling costlier.

Gambling has taken a worrying trend, especially among our young people, posing a serious threat to our social fabric.

To ensure that it does not become a menace to the society, we have taken a comprehensive approach that strikes a balance between the cost and benefits of gambling.

Assented to the Gambling Control Bill and the Kenya Roads (Amendment) (No. 2) Bill, 2025, State House.

We do not want to be a gambling nation. We are gambling with our lives, the economy, elections and relationships. We must regulate the radio gambling promotions - Senator Cherargei

A great step by @BettingBclb with the proposed mandatory ID verification, which requires users to take a selfie with their ID during registration. We've long advocated for this to curb underage gambling, a rampant issue that increases the risk of problem gambling later in life.

[The Standard Digital @StandardKenya]

The Betting Control and Licensing Board has proposed measures to regulate gambling. They include a mandatory picture of the gambler holding his or her Identity card while registering.

[Okiya Omtatah Okoiti @OkiyaOmtatah]

I received a call from Radio Kwizera in Tanzania asking about the impact of Kenya’s decision to suspend gambling advertisements and shut down over 50 betting firms.
The truth is, the government collects less than 2% of what these companies make.
Meanwhile, the social damage is enormous; broken families, rising poverty, and a growing mental health crisis among our youth.

I pointed out that in the past, the Kenya Charity Sweepstake was a government-regulated public gaming institution that organized raffles and prize competitions.
Its purpose was to raise funds for national development and charitable causes.
Money from the sweepstake went directly into supporting national development. It was a structure system where proceeds from gaming helped build the nation, not harm it.

Today, unregulated private betting firms exploit the poor, fuel addiction, and export their profits while leaving behind despair. I fully support the government’s action.
However, we must go further.

The National government, through the Ministry of Interior and the Betting Control and Licensing Board, should take the lead in drafting a Bill to regulate this sector and return it to public oversight. We must pass legislation that puts the wellbeing of Kenyans above corporate profit.

Our youth are not a market to exploit. They are the builders of our future, must be protected, and it has been known that future is here.
