This habit of calling people Honourable should stop. We should be called representatives, and leave the title Honourable to the Americans - Okiya Omtatah

Americans don’t actually use the term. They say “congressman”, “senator”, etc. The “honourable” and “excellency” nonsense are African diseases!

I support

Especially when they are this dishonourable. The word is used in the states because of presumption of conduct and adherehence to oath of office This practive of copy pasting should be shelved. Yaani we couldnt even create our homegrown governace like china

True. I always call my MP Mjumbe/ Representative.

This is a great proposal. The words we use to deceive ourselves are the reason these honorables can do no wrong! President Kibaki saw this , because he was wise and visionary and knew the power of words when he said: don’t call me Mtukufu (excellent). The result was he became accountable and focused.

Hapo sasa Servants instead of leaders

They can keep it. The word has no meaning anymore.

What’s Sub-Saharan African IQ today?

Representatives should represent his people. There's boundaries to that too. Are all of them representative?

Because there’s nothing honorable about most of them. 💯

Exactly! Long overdue.

Agree

That's very true

Anything honorable about this thieves and looters?

I agree completely with Okiya Omtatah. Respect should come from service, integrity and accountability.

What is Honourable about our MPs

This will be a good sign

Indeed @OkiyaOmtatah Representative, flips the entire political hierarchy back to the voters. Public service is a JD, not a royalty pass. If any one is elected to speak for the people, this title should remind them of their duties every day. #DropTheTitle #PeoplePowerKe

I agree

Ukweli itamtu jina yake a kwende uko

I endorse this message

Kwani Kuna watu bado wanaita politicians honourable?!💔😭

I stopped that nonsense long time ago. What's honourable about murderers like Dismus?

I agree

Yezzir

That's what Ave been wondering,the hellw we call someone Hon,and he or she is our representative?How the hell?The title should be removed from the MPs or any representative

With this kind of priorities The Honorable Okiya Omtata will delay the Singapore journey.

Very true. Representative sounds etiquette. You stole election results or bribed voters then be called honorable. I can’t and won’t ever

I support wholeheartedly

Nothing wrong if word "Honourable" elicited greater honour in behavioural disposition.Surely word "Dishonourable" (GOD Forbid) would trigger attitudinal cataclysm!.Also if a hypothetical nation of all the bad &ugly named "Concatenation" changes to "Determination" then expect good

Go to court to formalize that...thy should be called savants

Leave honourable to those who deserve honour

I agree. We are misrepresenting the meaning of honorable when used in Kenya

@GuruKJ15 Omtata naye sasa itabidi atafute nchi yake ya kuongoza. The biggest threat to our country is corruption.

Important issues of Busia county Senetor Okiya should address: corruption, unemployment of health workers, salaries delayed, development
