    "content": "Madam Temporary Speaker, in my understanding of Standing Order No.98, when a Member rises and these are the words of the Standing Orders in 98(3)- “When a Member rises on a point of order, the Chair must make a decision. The Speaker shall either give a decision on the point of order forthwith or announce that the decision is deferred for consideration.” All I am saying is that I am not clear on whether a decision was taken by the Chair on the point of order that precipitated the kicking out of the Senate Minority Leader. So, the point that I am seeking clarification on is this: What was the decision of the Chair on the point of order that was raised by Sen. Wambua following the things that Sen. Cherarkey said? Please, be patient with us. Yes, we want to know what that ruling was. What was the ruling on the point of order because it was not clear from where I was sitting observing the proceedings, what the point of order decision was? Was the point made or the point that Sen. Cherarkey was making, was it substantiated or not? That is the decision that we want to know about. There are consequences for failure to substantiate and I have suffered those consequences myself. If the rules of the debate are adhered to, you will not find people trying to find other ways to inject themselves into a debate for as long as the rules are followed."
