    "content": "Madam Temporary Speaker, I rise pursuant to Standing Order No.105 on responsibility for statement of fact. If you read that entire Standing Order, there is a standard of proving facts in this House. The Senate of Kenya will not depend on Wikipedia as a source that can be tabled in the House to prove a fact. What are we doing? Who is the author of Wikipedia? Wikipedia is a source that anybody, just like social media, can go and post anything. Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale, the Majority Whip, are we going to depend on Wikipedia sources in this House? Is this where the Senate has reached to depend on Wikipedia sources? The spirit of Standing Order No.105 is such that when there is any issue of fact that is raised in this House, then an hon.Senator must produce a reliable source that is available to all Senators. This does not include social media facts, figures and Wikipedia sources that have got voices from all over that you cannot point to one person. I request the hon.Senator, that, yes, that is a very serious issue that he is bringing to the House, but let his source be credible and something that we can all believe in and appreciate. I thank you."
