�Of all the properties which belong to honourable men, not one is so highly prized as that of character�- Henry Clay. This week I have the uncomfortable but honourable duty of descending from the Ivory Tower to question the honourability of a section of our society bearing the �honourable� title. Mine, you know, is an okro-mouth which gleefully sings �hallelujah� when the occasion demands, but also does not hesitate to shout �crucify� him when it becomes necessary. I�ve had the occasion to sing �hallelujah� in this column; but today I go ranting and raving �crucify� the dishonourable honourables. The word �honourable� is one our Members of Parliament (MPs) gleefully respond to. We call them honourable because we perceive them to be men and women worthy of honour and praise. However, the character and actions of some individual members since 1992, and to some extent, the House itself, make one wonder if our MPs do deserve the title. You can therefore not be faulted if you question the use of the title on people who exhibit traits of dishonourabilty. The whole country was last Wednesday scandalized when the House of Honourables exhibited acts which the MPs themselves have described as shameful. The House was thrown into a chaotic state as both sides behaved like Kindergarten (KG) kids scrambling for candy. A very dishonourable scene, if you ask me! Most of the MPs have singled out Wofa Kay Tee for blame. They say his outburst was dishonourable and unparliamentary. But they forget that grown men and women screaming like KG kids could also be described as such. Wofa Kay Tee�s outburst may not have been the best, but it�s understandable. It�s bad enough to be wrongly accused by a colleague. But it�s even worse when the colleague happens to be someone who is very dishonourable. Most people in Wofa Kay Tee�s shoes would do same, if not worse. So, you see, Wofa Kay Tee was justified, even if his action was unparliamentary. He was not the type who would allow a man who was engaged in a fake shooting saga to call him names. Never! And for that alone, I doff my hat to him. I laugh anytime I look at the MPs pointing accusing fingers at Wofa Kay Tee. It beats my imagination how an unrepentant Jihadist, who gaily beat his political opponents and vandalized their properties, could have the guts to call another person dishonourable. This same Jihadist of an MP happens to be the one who shamelessly propounded the �sheep-turn-cow� theory when he was deputy minister of Information. Is this not a case of a very black pot calling a fairly used kettle black? Among the MPs claiming to be holier than Yesu Kristo himself is one whose mouth vomits nothing but pure bunkum. He is also known for his violent lifestyle. He was the one who organized and energized his hoodlums to hound people of a certain ethnic grouping with cutlasses and cudgels during the voters registration exercise in 2012. Yet, such a character also calls another dishonourable. There is also this MP who my friend Kofi Django loves to call Mr. Baby-With-Sharp-Teeth. He is currently a deputy minister and is on record to have created 1.6 million phantom jobs during the reign of the late Agya Ofuntuo. He is anything but honourable; yet he responds to the title honourable. Ironic, isn�t it? It is a very big shame to see the man at the centre of the �woyomization� saga being called honourable. It becomes even more shameful when the man is elevated to the position of the second most powerful man in the House of Honourables. With such characters in the leadership of our Parliament, it�s not surprising at all that most of my compatriots have little respect for the House of Honourables. Abusuapanin, I know for sure you would not call a man who beats his wife an honourable man. So you would not refer to a man who has had carnal knowledge of his sister-in-law as honourable. Why then do we refer to MPs with such traits as honourable? Indeed, the House itself cannot escape blame. Although our MPs would want us to believe otherwise, what we have witnessed since 1992 is enough evidence that most of them, if not all, are more partisan than patriotic. If our honourables had been a little more patriotic, we would not have witnessed the wanton dissipation of the country�s scarce resources through the �Akonfem� and GYEEDA debacles and others. A retired justice of the Supreme Court was very diplomatic when he said the country needed �rebel� MPs. I would not use any euphemisms. Our MPs must realize that the ordinary Asomdwekromanian does not care whether they belong here or there. What he cares about is how prudently they execute the job we pay them to do. Our MPs must therefore learn to be more patriotic than partisan. Simplicita! I�m sorry if they feel offended; but the truth needs no crutches because it does not limp. I hope they understand that sentiments expressed here and elsewhere are to help curb the gradual desecration of the title, �honourable�. Lest I forget; our MPs should be careful when next they refer to the Drill Ship saga in negative terms. Wofa Benjee was lucky to have received only �honourable� verbal blows. Next time it could be �honourable� slaps and Kung fu kicks. See you next week for another konkonsa, Deo volente!
