Excited states in ${}^{95}$Rh and ${}^{95}$Ru have been populated in fusion-evaporation reactions and their lifetimes have been measured using the fast-timing technique with a setup consisting of LaBr scintillators and high-purity germanium detectors. The resulting lifetimes are used to calculate reduced quadrupole transition probabilities and discussed within the context of seniority conservation in the $1\pi g_{9/2}$ orbital. In contrast to the latest experimental findings, the new experimental data indicate that seniority symmetry is partially conserved in the mid-shell nucleus ${}^{95}$Rh.
