KOTA KINABALU: Sabah Umno will not recognise the two new appointments involving its assemblymen, including the Deputy Chief Minister’s position, in the new state Cabinet line-up, says Datuk Seri Bung Moktar Radin.
The Sabah Umno chief said the duo, Datuk Shahelmey Yahya and Datuk James Ratib, did not represent the party.
Bung Moktar, the Lamag assemblyman, said the decision by Shahelmey and James to back Hajiji’s GRS government had undermined Umno. “The appointment of the new state Cabinet involves two Sabah Umno reps they do not represent the party and we will not give any recognition to their appointments.Shahelmey was sworn in as Deputy Chief Minister as well as state Works Minister on Wednesday morning, replacing Bung Moktar.James, previously an assistant minister, was made a full state minister when he was appointed to the Community Development and People’s Wellbeing portfolio, previously held by Shahelmey.
Meanwhile, Bung Moktar said Sabah Umno will refer the matter to the disciplinary board at the national level as their move undermined the party and Barisan Nasional.“We will discuss the next course of action with party president ," he added.
