You might be able to handle your gambling habits, but not everyone can. There are people who're addicted to this vice, they want to stop but can't. The only way to cure them is to make them go cold turkey, yank away their ability to engage in gambling. I know two guys in my neighborhood whose once-thriving businesses collapsed because they couldn't stop betting. Jamaa anakula 5k leo, anapoteza 20k over the next 2 weeks. One had a butchery and immediately a customer bought meat, he'd rush to an MPESA shop nearby to deposit the money so he could bet. Ukimuuliza mbona tu asiwache, he looks at you helplessly. Imagine how many people are in that situation all over the country. The billions that could be used to grow the economy are instead being channelled to richer countries.
