Osei Kyei Mensah-Bonsu (born 3 February 1957)[1] is a Ghanaian urban planner and politician. He is currently the minority leader in the Ghanaian Parliament.

Suggested naming rights

Prior to the completion of the Job 600, Mr. Mensah-Bonsu proposed the renaming of the main Job 600 building. He suggested the building be named after the first speaker of Ghana's fourth parliament, Justice D. F. Annan, to honour the contribution he made towards the development of parliamentary affairs and democracy in Ghana.[2][3] He also proposed that one of the two new blocks that were built behind the main Job 600 be named after Peter Ala Adjetey who succeeded Justice Annan. Opposition to these naming issues was led by members of the Convention People's Party, who believed renaming Job 600 would erase the contributions of Dr. Kwame Nkrumah from Ghanaian history.[3]
