Solomon Antwi Kwaku Bonsu

Samuel Antwi Kwaku Bonsu, also known by the name Solomon Antwi Kwaku Bonsu, was a Ghanaian politician in the first republic. He was the Minister of Co-operatives and later Minister of Pensions and National Insurance. He was also the member of parliament for the Sekyere West constituency from 1959 to 1965 and the member of parliament for the Adotobri constituency from 1965 to 1966.

Early life and education Bonsu was born on 21 November 1921 at Asante Mampong in the Ashanti Region. After completing his Standard Seven, he entered the Presbyterian College of Education (then the Presbyterian Training College) where he obtained his Teachers' Certificate 'A'. He was called to the bar as a barrister-at-law in 1957. This was as a result of the seat being vacant due to a law in parliament at the time that deprived members of parliament of their seat if they were unable to be present in parliament for ten (10) consecutive days.

The former occupant of the seat, R. R. Amponsah, fell victim to this fate as he was detained while being trialled at the time for allegedly plotting with M. K. Apaloo to overthrow Nkrumah. and a year later, he was appointed Chief of State Protocol for the Queen when she visited Ghana. In June that same year, he was moved to head the Ministry of Pensions and National Insurance. A month later, he was made member of parliament for the Adotobri constituency. He served in these capacities in the Nkrumah government until Nkrumah was overthrown in February 1966.
