    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, we are beginning to lose it. It is really unfortunate if you allow this to happen. You are the Speaker and you preside over this House. If you allow the kind of exchanges between Sen. Mutula Kilonzo Jnr. and other Senators in this House where he says even if Standing Order No.96 demands he substantiate and he says he will not, we are losing it as a House. There is no basis for anybody rising against him, then you are setting a very dangerous precedent. Sen. Orengo raised a very important issue, which I had hoped you would give us a ruling on, that for every time that Senators rise on points of order, they will state the particular Standing Order in which the Member who is on the Floor has violated. Sen. Murkomen, in compliance with that, has set a precedent. He has given us Standing Order No.96, which Sen. Mutula Kilonzo Jnr. has violated. Instead of following the good practice that has been set, thanks to the intervention of the Senate Minority Leader, you have allowed the speaker who is on the Floor to dismiss him so casually. Mr. Speaker, Sir, please do not allow this to pass. Make a determination on that point of order. Sen. Mutula Kilonzo Jnr. must either substantiate or withdraw, as per our Standing Orders."
