    "content": "My predecessors have severally addressed the question of admissibility of Papers laid in this House. In the most recent case, Hon. Justin Muturi distilled previous guidance on admissibility of documents into nine brief rules in a Communication issued on Tuesday, 10th May 2022 while ruling on the tabling of Papers by the then Member for Wajir County, Hon. Fatuma Gedi. The then Speaker ruled that in assessing the admissibility and/or authenticity or otherwise of a document tabled in the House, the Speaker ought to examine whether the document: (i) relates to the matter for which it has been tabled; (ii) is signed, and if it is a Government document, by the authorised person or persons; (iii) bears the emblem or logo of the institution/person from which it originated or coat of arms in the case of documents from Government agencies; (iv) clearly indicates the author and person to whom it is addressed; (v) discloses the origin or source of the document; (vi) bears certification where a document other than the original is being tabled; (vii) if electronic, has been obtained from a source that does not permit alteration of contents; (viii) is related to a claim made before the House or a Committee or its content has a nexus with the claim; and (ix) is stamped and clearly indicates the person signing off the stamp."
