Betting will destroy Kenya

IMF is giving us Ksh 240B spread over 3 years ( big ceremony) while our youth blow Ksh 83B in 6 months on betting which means in 3 years we could be talking of Ksh497B on betting more than double what IMF is giving us over 36 months. 😇😇😇

Well holding a betting license does not make your business kosher….betting in Kenya is mopping money / funds from bottom of the pyramid ( more so slums) and every young man or woman thinks she will be the next ” big ” winner.

Betting business is global but in Kenya they stopped responsible betting from day 1 . Banks and Safaricom are happy as conduits, but the day the youth have had enough that fire will consume us all.

This is a ticking time bomb.
