Kota Kinabalu: Parti Cinta Sabah President Datuk Seri Panglima Anifah Aman has called on the Sabah Government to appoint qualified Sabahans to lead committees that discuss state-related issues.
The former Foreign Minister (pictured) said that when issues affecting the state arise, it is a standard procedure for the Chief Minister to form a committee to study the matter.
“The committee would discuss and debate the issue and take into consideration the legal, social and economic aspects before presenting it to either the Cabinet or the State Assembly,” Anifah said in a statement.
He, however, added that in order for the recommendations to be useful and adopted by the state, qualified people must be appointed to be members and to lead these committees.
“We have to move away from appointing politicians to lead committees simply because they are Assemblymen or Cabinet Ministers or hail from the same party as the state leadership."
