"content": " If the Speaker shall be of the opinion that Sen. (Prof.) Anyang’-Nyong’o was not able to substantiate, then the consequences contemplated in Standing Order No. 110 will take effect. All that I did was to caution Sen. (Prof.) Anyang’-Nyong’o, because if you look at Standing Order 94 (2) which states:- “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 disorderly within the meaning of Standing Order No. 110 (Disorderly conduct) unless the Senator withdraws the allegations and gives a suitable apology, if the Speaker so requires.” Therefore, the onus is or shall be with the Senator making the allegations. He has already mentioned Gen. Karangi and the Cabinet Secretary, Mr. Matiang’i. He will proceed, but he is aware, like every Senator is, of the consequences of not being able to substantiate. This is because Standing Order No. 110 is clear in its provision. You may proceed, Sen. (Prof.) Anyang’-Nyong’o."
