The Central Regional Communications Director of the New Patriotic Party (NPP, Richard Tekyi-Mensah has said that Gabriel Barima is �not fit� to head the Security Council of the Ahafo Ano South District. According to the NPP Communicator, Mr. Barima who is popularly known as �Tweaa DCE� for his outburst whiles addressing the Medical Staff of the Mankraso Government Hospital has proven to be unsuitable for the position of District Chief Executive, much less the Head of the District Security Council due his loose talk. �..he is not fit to be the Head of District Security Council and his recent utterances with regards the circumstances surrounding his reinstatement as the DCE of Ahafo Ano is an indication of that fact. "This is someone who apologized for sudden display of emotions which earned him the infamous �Tweaa DCE� but later, his statements showed that he was not remorseful about his conduct. Now, listen to what he is saying again�that Asiedu Nketia stood up for him and said he would resign as the General Secretary of the NDC is I am sacked and all that. "Assuming without admitting what he is saying is true, this tells us there have been some level of backroom discussion with respect to his reinstatement�so why should he come out to put all that in the public domain?� Mr. Tekyi-Mensah questioned on NEAT FM�s Me Man Nti program. The NPP stalwart came to this conclusion after the Brong-Ahafo Regional Executives of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) invited Mr. Gabriel Barima to explain the content of a tape in which he appeared to have described President Mahama as a small fish in the NDC. The �Tweaa DCE� was heard bragging of his impel in the ruling party, putting himself at the level of the Chief scribe of the NDC, Johnson Asiedu Nketia and Hon. Kingsford Alban Bagbin. Speaking to the leadership of the party in the Ahafo Ano District, Gabriel Barima stated: �some people forget that some of us have been in Parliament before, yes, it will surprise you to know that it was during my second term that President Mahama got his appointment as the Deputy Communications Minister, Asiedu Nketia was my colleague, Alban bagbin too was a colleague�.
