Juaboso Member of Parliament (MP), Kwabena Mintah Akandoh is unhappy with the new twist a case he brought against the Gender Minister has taken.
He did not understand why the title honorable became substantive at the expense of the merits of the case he brought against the Minister.
The lawmaker said he has not committed any crime if the public addresses him as an honourable, claiming it is a "convention" that MPs go by that title.
Mr Akandoh and Ashaiman MP, Ernest Norgbey were in court Tuesday following a suit they filed seeking to revoke the appointment of Gender Minister Otiko Afisa Djaba.
The National Democratic Congress (NDC) MPs had asked for the Minister’s appointment to be annulled because she had not done the mandatory National Service, which they believe disqualify her for the job.
But Chief Justice Sophia Akuffo was displeased after she noticed the title ‘honourable’ had been added to the names of the MPs in the writ.
Joy News' Joseph Ackah-Blay said the CJ slammed the lawmakers, telling them that the use of ‘honourable’ in the court is “dishonourable.”
Mrs Akuffo said the MPs could have used the title after their names, which would be followed by the constituency they are representing.
But Mr Akandoh on Joy FM said he was surprised at what happened in court because the title had nothing to do with the substantive matter before it.
"The merit and demerit of the case were not heard," he expressed his disappointment after their first appearance in court ended on a bad note.
He said they were hoping to be served with the response from the defendant on the matter but that did not happen.
The court dismissed the case, arguing one of the lawyers for the plaintiffs, Godwin Edudzi Tameklo did not possess a valid Solicitor's license at the time of filing the writ.
But Mr Akandoh said they will be heading back to the court to pursue the matter even further.

Your crime is the ignorance you exhibited. I has a JSS 2 drop out even knows that there are so many people in this country using the title honorable. (1) what is the title we give to ministers of state? (Honorable) (2) what is the name we give you as an elected MP? (Honorable) (3) what is the title we give to the Assemblymen and women in our communities ? (Honorable) (4) What do we call our MMDC Chief Executives? (Honorables) Last but not the lest, What do we call 30% people been appointed to serve as Assemblymen and women in the Assembles by the president? (Honorables) base on this, In what category were you expecting the CJ to put your honorable title to? So you see how ignorance can kill, and even lead to crime? Akando Learn.
