James Ratib: I left Upko for the sake of the people, development of Sabah

Sugut state assemblyperson man James Ratib (on right in photo, above) has stressed that his decision to leave the United Progressive Kinabalu Organisation (Upko) was to safeguard the interests of Sabahans, who still needed the support of the federal government to further develop.

Claims that he had left the party due to personal interests were untrue and baseless, James said in Kota Kinabalu last night.
