Kota Kinabalu: Parti Kerjasama Anak Negeri (Anak Negeri) President Datuk Henrynus Amin said it is highly improbable for Upko President Datuk Ewon Benedick to have produced a comprehensive policy solution to the 40 per cent claim simply by conducting a one day roundtable discussion involving individuals who have no access, nor were privy to the relevant information.
It begs the question how Ewon by himself through the one day roundtable discussion could formulate a policy solution without the involvement or inputs of State or Federal agencies or officials who are actually privy to the relevant information.
The former Kinabalu MP said the fact that Ewon tried to lobby the Sabah Chief Minister to accept the undisclosed proposal on payment mechanism without consulting other political political parties in the state unity government was highly questionable and could be counter-productive.
“Upko’s PR exercise unless proven to be otherwise can be seen as intended to justify the decision by UPKO to withdraw their legal suit against the Federal Government on the 40 percent issue last year, “ Henrynus stressed.
