Government has reinstated former District Chief Executive of the Ahafo Ano South in the Ashanti Region, Gabriel Barimah who is infamously known for his ‘Tweaaa’ refrain.

The former DCE used the local invective after he lost his temper during a programme to honour workers at the Mampong hospital.

Mr. Barimah who subsequently earned the title ‘Tweaaa DCE’ was sacked by government after granting an interview in which he expressed no remorse for his actions.

Local Government Minister Julius Debrah told Joy News the decision was taken after appeals from traditional authorities in the area.

"His Excellency had received series of petitions from opinion leaders and the traditional rulers and so after a careful consideration, government has re-nominated him to get back to post," he explained.

When asked if conditions had been set for Mr. Baraimah's return, the Minister said that no fast conditions had been set as the DCE had only lost his temper and had not been involved in any criminal activities.

"I think he has learnt his lesson. If you take a critical look as his situation, it wasn't like he got himself in any malfeasance or any criminality. I’m sure he probably lost his temper which happens to most of us as humans and probably didn’t conduct himself properly".

Mr. Barimah landed in trouble early this year when he let his anger get the better of him at a public function after an unidentified hospital worker used the local slang 'tweaa'.

The "Who said Tweaa" incident went viral on traditional and social media and resulted in massive calls for his dismissal.

The President initially forgave him for his indiscretion when the DCE apologised for the conduct but removed him from his post after his unfortunate interview. 

Months later and after several calls for his reinstatement; the infamous DCE, who according to Johnson Asiedu Nketia is an "exemplary model for others to emulate," has been given back his role.
