You could soon be prohibited from betting between 6am to 8pm should an amendment to the law be approved by the Nairobi County Assembly. The proposed law also seeks to ban the public from using mobile phones to gamble. The Nairobi City County Betting, Lotteries and Gaming (Amendment) Bill 2021, sponsored by South B MCA Waithera Chege, seeks to protect productive human hours by restricting gambling.
