Female Members of Parliament are not the least bit happy about how some of their male colleagues address them on the floor of the House.Ayorkor Botchway, the Member of Parliament for Weija, says the atmosphere should be strictly business on the floor of Parliament and that female MPs must be addressed by their appropriate titles.“We are honourable members of the House and that is how we must be addressed on the floor,” she said in a comment on the apparent discrimination against women in Parliament.She took serious exception to Asawasi MP Muntaka Mohammed when he referred to the female MPs as his “sisters in the House.”“I don’t think I am his sister. We are not their aunties, wives. We are honorable MPs,” she retorted.Her colleague, Tarkwa Nsuaem MP Eugenia Gifty Kusi, also raised the question of why there are no female MPs in the Ministries of Defence or Works and Housing, explaining that a substantial number of experienced female MPs are qualified to work in those ministries.
