KOTA KINABALU: Upko continues to urge the Attorney General’s Chambers (AGC) to drop the appeal on the grounds of the judgment pertaining to a Court Order mandating the government to review Sabah’s 40% revenue entitlement. Upko president Datuk Ewon Benedick said if the federal government was sincere in returning what was owed to Sabah, and genuinely wanted to solve this matter, they would drop the appeal on the Court order. He said in Upko, their stance to fight for state rights, push for reform agenda would continue to be their objective and drive. Earlier, he mentioned that as a local-based party fighting for genuine Sabahans, there was still much work to be done. He urged party members, leaders and supporters to serve as ambassadors for the party by doing their best in bringing development for the people.
