Gabriel Barima, the DCE who became popular for using the word tweaa and storming out of a durbar<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

A statement signed the Executive Secretary to the President; Dr. Raymond Atuguba said: \u201cThe President exercising the powers conferred on him by the Local Government Act section 204, has dismissed the DCE for Ahafo Ano South, Gabriel Barima with immediate effect.\u201d<\/p>\n

The statement also said the Ashanti Regional Minister has been directed to act until a substantive DCE is appointed.<\/p>\n

Gabriel Barima was recently caught on film throwing tantrums and storming out of a durbar because a member of the audience reportedly said \u201ctweaa\u201d during his speech.<\/p>\n

There were calls for his dismissal but Mr. Barima was reprimanded by the Local Government and Rural Development Minister and was allowed to stay on as DCE.<\/p>\n

However, he reportedly asked for royalties for popularising “tweaa” in another interview this week and that seemed to have earned him the wrath of the Minister of Local Government Minister who issued a statement to express his disgust.<\/p>\n

The statement issued earlier on Wednesday said: \u201cIn view of this development, the Ministry is reviewing its earlier decision to ensure that Hon. Barima is appropriately sanctioned according to the high standards of public office.\u201d<\/p>\n
