    "content": "Order! Order, hon. Members! Order, Member for Mosop! Hon. Members, I appreciate and acknowledge that this is a matter that is grave, substantial and quite obviously, a matter that attracts a lot of sensitivity both ways. I will urge that we all live within the rules. We should exercise and conduct the business of this House in accordance with the Standing Orders which guide the manner in which we may do so. With respect to matters of accuracy, we all may be aware and if not, I want to read that out to all of us, so that it is clear in our minds. Standing Order No.82, paragraph 1 which I have alluded to constantly during this sitting provides as follows:- (1) “A Member shall be responsible for the accuracy of any facts which the Member alleges to be true” – as indeed, the hon. Member for Ikolomani has – “and may be required to substantiate any such facts instantly.” The Member for Ikolomani has instantly been asked to substantiate those facts which are within the Standing Orders. (2) “If a Member has sufficient reason to convince the Speaker that the Member is unable to substantiate the allegation instantly, the Speaker shall require that such a Member substantiates the allegations not later than the next sitting day, failure to which the Member shall be deemed to be disorderly within the meaning of Standing Order of 97 (Disorderly Conduct) unless the Member withdraws the allegations and gives a suitable apology, if the Speaker so requires.” So, the Member for Ikolomani has a number of options under Standing Orders No.81 and 82. Member for Ikolomani, really, it is open to you to take the advantage that you have under those Standing Orders. If you are not inclined to do so, then say so and we will take it from there."
