Suggested naming rights

Mensah Bonsu proposed renaming the Parliament's Job 600 building after Justice D. F. Annan, the first speaker of Ghana's fourth parliament, to recognize his contributions to parliamentary affairs and democracy, while suggesting that one of the new blocks be named after Peter Ala Adjetey, who succeeded Justice Annan; however, members of the Convention People's Party opposed the renaming, arguing that it would erase the historical significance of Kwame Nkrumah's contributions to Ghanaian history.
