On 6969???

In countries like South Africa and Britain, lotteries are used to finance social service and welfare projects.
In Kenya, lotteries like 6969, 2929 can come in handy in financing a social health insurance programs for the common mwanainchi, construction of irrigation infrastructure, or financing the impending famine epidemic.
But in the current licensing model in our beloved Kenya the money generated benefits only a group of investors who have flouted the law by failing to remit at least 25 per cent of their gross receipts to charitable projects that benefit the country socially and economical.
The BC& L Act should state the purposes for which lotteries may be conducted, that is, charitable work; the lotteries should not be conducted for private gain or commercial undertaking where the Lords of poverty are striking gold at the expense of poor gullible Kenyans of their hard earned dime.

Or is it a political funding scheme now that 2012 is just around the corner?

Have a patriotic week.
