KOTA KINABALU: A Kadazandusun Barisan Nasional leader pointed the finger at state ministers representing the community for the plight of Kampung Maang villagers opposing the relocation of Kota Kinabalu International Airport (KKIA) squatters to their neighbourhood. 

Parti Bersatu Rakyat Sabah president Tan Sri Joseph Kurup said the ministers had failed to execute their responsibilities to protect the community’s interests, as their actions so far did not reflect what the Kadazandusun villagers wanted them to do.
