"content": "Madam Temporary Speaker, may I be protected from Sen. Okiya Omtatah? I want Sen. Okiya Omtatah to understand from Standing Order No.105 that nobody is disputing the importance of the issue that he is raising. In fact, that issue is so important to all of us. It is very important to the country. However, Sen. Okiya Omtatah cannot say something that he cannot substantiate and run away from it. That is disorderly because the source was online and nobody was requesting for a paper source. Even the sources online are not all credible. That is the point I have been making here. If he says he has a source online, it is not about whether people cannot access online sources. It is about whether you can rule on what is the threshold of credible sources that must be given in this House, whether paper white or online. If Sen. Okiya Omtatah will run away from giving us sources because he knows that the source online is not credible, that is not fair to this House. We expect a ruling on that. As the Senator for Migori County, I would want to know if Janjaweed is in this country. Do they have an office in this country, then I must know how I protect my people in Migori County. I must know how I will participate in this House to make sure that our security is guaranteed. It cannot be said as a passing or a political statement and let it go like that. I request for your ruling on the credibility of sources under Standing Order No.105. Secondly, whether Sen. Okiya Omtatah is obliged to provide that source online or on paper for us to follow. I thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Director, Hansard and AudioServices, Senate."
