Gov’t will modernise boledo
There will also be some changes made in the government owned lottery. In the face of a six percent annual decline in revenues over the past seven years and stiff competition from the privately operated Lotto and Bel-3 draws, Cabinet has agreed to two recommendations: one that the daily boledo and weekly lottery be developed into an electronic format for television broadcast, and two: that an effective mechanism be developed to prevent the sale of the immensely popular illegal lottery. One suggestion is that sellers be charged a flat fee instead of the current system which involves the sale of lottery books.
