Kitingan believes Musa Aman will return to take oath as assemblyman

KOTA KINABALU: Parti Solidariti Tanah Airku (Star) president Datuk Dr Jeffrey Kitingan believes that former Sabah chief minister Tan Sri Musa Aman will return to Sabah to take his oath as a state assemblyman.
He said the Sabah Barisan Nasional (BN) chairman still has time to be sworn in as Sungai Sibuga assemblyman because the ceremony could be performed within a period of 120 days from the date of polling (May 9), which ends next month.
"Rumours saying that Tan Sri (Musa) will lose the seat of Sungai Sibuga if he does not return to be sworn in as an assemblyman is just a speculation.
"An elected representative will only lose his seat if he does not take his oath within 120 days from the date of polling or fails to attend three state legislative assembly sittings without reasons," he told reporters on the sidelines of the state legislative assembly sitting, here today.
Musa has not been in Sabah since May 14 and is curretnly in the United Kingdom for medical treatment.
Jeffrey added he was elected by members of the Bersatu Sabah pact, including representatives from BN to play the role of opposition head while Musa was still abroad during the current sitting. — Bernama
