The Minister for Local Government and Rural Development, Hon Akwasi Oppong Fosu has reprimanded the District Chief Executive for Ahafo Ano South, Gabriel Barima.

This follows his conduct during a gathering of hospital employees in the district where he abandoned his speech in anger when a member from the audience heckled him saying, ‘’Tweeeaa’’.

A statement signed by Deputy Local Government Minister Emmanuel Kojo Agyekum stated in part that: “government takes a very serious view of Mr. Barimah’s conduct as it runs contrary to provisions in the Code of Conduct for Public officials launched last year.” It adds that “government has taken into account the DCE’s profuse apology and genuine show of remorse following the incident.”

The DCE has therefore been cautioned to refrain from similar conducts in the future and show better leadership in his dealings with his constituents.

The Ahafo Ano South DCE’s outbursts generated nationwide debate and criticisms which prompted investigations by the sector ministry.
