Sabah, Sarawak must be part of unity govt, says Kitingan

KOTA KINABALU: Gabungan Rakyat Sabah (GRS) deputy chairman Jeffrey Kitingan has come out in support of the King’s call for a unity government.

The president of Parti Solidariti Tanah Airku (STAR), a component of GRS, said his party was on board with the King’s proposal to have a unity government to resolve the political impasse.

“A unity government is the best solution I can see right now. However, this government must include the elected governments of Sabah and Sarawak for it to be effective and truly inclusive.

“The unity government mechanism must be clearly established for it to work,” the Sabah deputy chief minister told FMT.

Kitingan said GRS and Gabungan Parti Sarawak (GPS) has 29 seats together, while two independent MPs and one from Parti Kesejahteraan Demokratik Masyarakat (KDM) have agreed to work together as one entity.
