Adansi Asokwa MP Kobina Tahir Hammond, also known as KT Hammond, sparked a lively moment in parliament today when he expressed his disappointment at not being formally addressed by his new title, Alhaji.
KT Hammond, who recently completed the Hajj pilgrimage, felt snubbed when his new title was not acknowledged during parliamentary proceedings. He brought up the issue, seeking recognition from his colleagues and the speaker.
The incident adds a touch of humor to the day’s proceedings, highlighting the importance of protocol and tradition in Ghana’s parliamentary culture.
No further details have been released on whether the speaker or his colleagues will begin addressing him as Alhaji KT Hammond going forward.
The incident has generated mixed reactions on social media, with some Ghanaians praising his sense of humor while others criticize his priorities.
“He’s always creating humor in parliament… brings some smiles to the house,” wrote one Twitter user.
Others were less amused: “Indoctrinated soul! We are facing bigger problems, and you want titles? Such a clown!”
Some commenters noted the irony of the title “Alhaji,” meaning “stranger,” while others questioned the MP’s priorities: “Everything be joke, give am! We have bigger issues in Ghana.”
