Bwana.

Samahani, Bwana. Excuse me, Sir.

Nikusaidie, Bwana? May I help you, Sir?

"Yes, Sir," in the police and military, however, is Ndiyo, Afandi.

Like "sir" and "mister" in English, bwana was probably originally used by an inferior to address a superior. Now it is used in all contexts, as English-speakers use those two words. Under some circumstances, especially between familiars and family members, bwana can also be used in address to women.
