    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, before I pursue my point, I want to tell the distinguished colleague from Garissa County that sometimes this Chamber is quasi-judicial. When he is in trouble, I will argue for him as well. The point I want to amplify was made by Sen. Mutula Kilonzo Jnr. These are the words that Sen. (Dr.) Kabaka used. The demand to substantiate must be predicated on Standing Order 94(1) that says:- “A senator will 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.” Mr. Speaker, Sir, if you look at the HANSARD, the distinguished Senator for Machakos County did not allege any facts. This is what he said:- “I hear that this man known as Mr. Rai is connected to His Excellency the President. Mr. President, please, listen-- He is being exceedingly respectful to the Head of State. “If you are doing business with Mr. Rai, disclose it to Kenyans.” If the President is not doing any business with Mr. Rai, let the chips lie where they fell. It is as simple as that."
