    "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, in the course of debate on the Motion at hand, Sen. Cherarkey, MP, made the following comment: “My Governor is notorious. He has changed Nandi from being the source of champions to source of corruption, where they write cheques that bounce and some to places that do not exist. They exist up there.” It is at this point that nominated Sen. Raphael Chimera, MP, raised a point of order pursuant to Standing Order No.105 to require Sen. Cherarkey, MP, to substantiate his claim. Hon. Senators, Sen. Cherarkey, MP, was not able to substantiate his statement as required pursuant to Standing Order No.105(1) and subsequently requested the Temporary Speaker, Sen. Veronica Maina, to provide the evidence at the next sitting day in accordance with Standing Order No.105 (2). Having acceded to the request, the Temporary Speaker, Sen. Veronica Maina, directed that the Senator substantiates the allegation at the next sitting day. Pursuant to Standing Order No.105(2), I now invite Sen. Samson Cherarkey, MP, to forthwith substantiate the claim as raised in the point of order by Sen. Raphael Chimera, MP, failure to which, Sen. Cherarkey, MP, shall be deemed to be disorderly within the meaning of Standing Order No. 121. In the absence of such substantiation, the Senator will be required to withdraw the statement and apologise to the Senate. Senator for Nandi, you may proceed to substantiate."
