"content": "(1) “A Senator shall be responsible for the accuracy of any facts that the Senator alleges to be true and may be required to substantiate any such facts instantly. (2) If a Senator has sufficient reason to convince the Speaker that the Senator is unable to substantiate the allegations instantly, the Speaker shall require that such Senator substantiates the allegations not later than the next sitting day, failure to which the Senator shall be deemed to be disorderly within the meaning of Standing Order No. 121 (Disorderly conduct), unless the Senator withdraws the allegations and gives a suitable apology, if the Speaker so requires.” Hon. Senators, the three Senators, were not able to substantiate their statements pursuant to Standing Order No. 105(1), and subsequently requested the Speaker to provide the evidence at the next sitting day in accordance with standing Order No. 105 (2). Having acceded to the requests, the Speaker, pursuant to the Standing Order, directed that the Senators substantiate their allegations at the next sitting day. I have reviewed the HANSARD report of the proceedings held on Tuesday, 18th July, 2023, and I have ascertained the remarks that necessitated the Senators to be challenged to substantiate their claims. The sittings of the Senate on Wednesday, 19th June, 2023, adjourned due to lack of quorum. The particulars of the allegations that require substantiation by the respective Senators are as follows - (1) Sen. Samson Cherarkey, MP (a) Sen.
