    "content": "with me, to also consider, because there is no definition that is clear anywhere in our Standing Orders in relation to Standing Order 90(3) which states:- “It shall be out of order for one to use offensive or insulting language whether in respect of Senators or other persons”. What is offensive and insulting? This is the jurisprudence you have to develop and grow for the future of this House because sometimes what is offensive and insulting to me may not be to you and vice versa . As you lay down the precedence to be used in future, it will be helpful to both this House, other Houses, yourself and Speakers in future to know what that means because the Standing Orders have no definition. Equally important, if you look at the Oxford Advanced Learners Dictionary, “thief” is described as a person who steals from another person or place, a car, jewel and so on. Nowhere does it say that it must involve conviction or prosecution. We may also need you to address yourself to that because this is the most authoritative definition of any English word that is in contention. So, I am just trying to help the Chair, so that you lay down a precedent. It will be remembered that hon. David Ekwe Ethuro, the Speaker of the Senate of the Republic of Kenya said this in 2016. This would probably be said in 2050."
