The Presidential Taskforce on the establishment of a national lottery is out of the country on a benchmarking tour.

The two teams are seeking to understand the “operation mechanics of a National Lottery”.

A team led by technical committee chair Narendra Raval is in Italy while that of the Betting Control and licensing board (BCLB) board chair Jane Makau is in South Africa on a four-day trip.

“We are here to learn how these countries are running their lotteries and what has made it successful,” a statement from the secretariat reads.

Their tour comes following the conclusion of public participation exercise across the country on April 21.

Ghana, Nigeria, India, Singapore, Finland, and the UK are some of the other countries that are currently running the lottery.

Kenya’s National lottery will be operated by the government or an operator permitted by the government.

It will allow the public to purchase tickets for a chance to win a large sum of money or other prizes.

The proceeds from ticket sales, Raval said, are going to be used to support various good causes as well as improve the quality of life of citizens through identified good causes.

Through the proceeds of ticket sales and taxation of winnings, the government generates revenue to support various public initiatives or programs.

The team in Italy toured Sisal company which is one of the leading international operators in the regulated gaming sector with over 48000 retail points.

It also operates in Morocco and Turkey, with a range that includes lotteries, betting, online games and entertainment devices.

Once the Taskforce undertakes a review as per the views of stakeholders and the public, the draft bills will be taken to parliament for input consideration.
