  • Gambling Addiction and Threat to Development in Kenya: Assessing the Risks and Problems of Gamblers in Changing Society
    Journal of African Interdisciplinary Studies (JAIS): ISSN 2523-6725 (online) February 2018 Vol. 2, No. 2 Citation: Amutabi, M. N. (2018). Gambling Addiction and Threat to Development in Kenya: Assessing the Risks and Problems of Gamblers in Changing Society. Journal of African Interdisciplinary Studies: 2, 2, 90 – 103. Gambling Addiction and Threat to Development in Kenya: Assessing the Risks and Problems of Gamblers in Changing Society By Maurice N Amutabi Abstract Gambling is on the rise in Kenya. There have been fears that Kenya is becoming a nation of gamblers. On May 2, 2017 Sportpesa, a sports betting firm in Kenya declared 28 year old Samuel Abisai the winner of Kenya Shillings 221 million jackpot, through betting. The story made national headlines and Abisai was celebrated and invited to many TV and radio stations to share plans on what he would do with the money. He had become famous overnight. Sportpesa hailed the jackpot as “the biggest payout in African football history” and must have enjoyed the free publicity it received by media houses as Samuel Abisai moved from one station to the next. Such windfalls are making most young people convinced that good fortune could be all they need to change their lives. Even for those in official employment, the urge to try to win something, is high. It is for such reasons that Kenyan youth are increasingly getting lost into betting and gambling and many are getting to points beyond recovery. The purpose of this article is to assess the problem of betting and gambling and their effects n youth in Kenya and how this is undermining development in Kenya.

    Of Computer Glitches, Moving Human Fingers and Illicit Financial Flows By The Elephant Published by the good folks at The Elephant. The Elephant is a platform for engaging citizens to reflect, re-member and re-envision their society by interrogating the past, the present, to fashion a future. Follow us on Twitter. Of Computer Glitches, Moving Human Fingers and Illicit Financial Flows By The Elephant A cousin of President Uhuru Kenyatta has quietly accumulated a financial stake in SportPesa’s controversial gambling empire, Finance Uncovered can reveal. The finding — discovered in details buried in corporate filings in Kenya, the UK and the Isle of Man — came as the president signed a law to axe a 20% excise duty on bets staked, a levy that contributed to SportPesa’s withdrawal from its lucrative Kenyan market last year. The proposal to drop the duty was included as an amendment to the Finance Bill, which had been passed by the National Assembly last week. The final hurdle to it becoming law was the president’s assent on Tuesday night. A cousin of President Uhuru Kenyatta has quietly accumulated a financial stake in SportPesa’s controversial gambling empire, Finance Uncovered can reveal. The president’s crucial decision is being analysed closely now it has been established that Peter Kihanya Muiruri, his second cousin, has over the past 14 months acquired stakes in three companies which are part of SportPesa’s international gambling empire. SportPesa is the shirt sponsor of English Premier League side, Everton FC. After the government introduced taxes on bets placed by punters, and aggressively pursued gambling firms for its payment, it prompted a number of leading gambling firms to close their businesses in Kenya.
