👏🏽 Congratulations to the entire Board, the Secretariat, and all our stakeholders. Africa is watching, and Kenya is leading.
All the same, under Dr. Mwikali’s era as BCLB boss, Kenya has achieved huge milestones in regards to betting and gambling regulations. From cracking down illegal betting companies to doing away with exploitative means gambling companies have been using to exploit the common and ordinary man in the economic pyramid.
