Betting firms want proposed changes to the Betting, Lotteries and Gaming Act shelved. The firms claim they are likely to drive them out of business.
Under the aegis of the Association of the Gaming Operators in Kenya (AGOK), the firms said if passed, the Betting, Lotteries and Gaming (Amendment) Bill, 2016 by Gem MP Jakoyo Midiwo would cripple the local industry while allowing foreign firms to have a grip on the unrestricted online market.
