The police also said that they have arrested several suspects; however, they did not reveal the exact number of people arrested.

The raids and seizure of the gambling machines was done as a part of the execution of the directive issued by the country’s Interior Cabinet Secretary Fred Matiang’i. The police commissioner has said that the illegal gambling machines were immoral and he compared gambling addiction to be more precarious than the spread of HIV/AIDs explaining that it hampers the economic lives of people and also the community. The Commissioner assured that they are committed to their fight against gambling and also expressed concerns over children and teenagers being lured by the charm of gambling. He said that more raids will follow and that several agencies are collaborating together to achieve complete ousting of gambling syndicates from the region.
