The National Assembly will set up a special committee to inquire into the activities of the multi-billion shilling betting and gambling industry in Kenya.

The committee, to be co-chaired by Majority Leader Aden Duale and Deputy Minority Leader Jakoyo Midiwo, is expected to focus its inquiry on tax compliance, claims of financial impropriety, regulation and benefits of the industry to society and the State.
