20%? Is this even real ? Most of the companies not related to gambling pay lower than 10% but not the same in Kenya when it comes to the sports gambling. Now the biggest football clubs have joined hands to oppose this rule.
It's such a bad time to implement it but you can't blamer a government that wants to have money coming in times of pandemic, but one of their reasons to prohibit people from gambling is a bad one, if they don't want people to gamble in their country they should ban gambling, they really want to justify their additional taxes to these gambling companies, which is also suffering from this pandemic.
Banning is the solution and if they wanted to get some money in a legal way from those companies, high taxes are the solution. That's why most of them are now closed because they cannot handle the heat and the excessive tax that has been implemented. But some of them didn't give it up as they create something alternative which will hide their activities from their government. But if they get caught, they will face serious charges will lead them to pay more money.
