Member of Parliament (MP) for Ashiaman Ernest Norgbey and his colleague for Juaboso Kwabena Mintah Akandoh have been scolded by the Chief Justice, Sophia Akuffo for adding the title “honorable” to their names while they filed a writ in court.
The two legislators had gone to court to seek the revocation of the appointment of the Minister of Gender Children and Social Protection, Otiko Afisa Djaba.
The two Minority MPs went to court to annul Otiko Afisa Djaba’s appointment over her failure to undertake a mandatory National Service and in the writ both MPs added “honorable” as title to their names.
On Tuesday when the case was called, the Chief Justice expressed concern about how the names of the two MPs were written.
She described the act as improper, by revealing that the two legislators were not supposed to add such titles to their names.
She further said, “The people who developed the tradition do not do this”.
