KOTA KINABALU: Several Sabah opposition leaders welcomed the RM3.1mil Covid-19 aid allocation for opposition assemblymen in Sabah, but hopes that it would be expanded for other uses.

United Progressive Kinabalu Organisation (Upko) president Datuk Seri Madius Tangau said the announcement by Chief Minister Datuk Seri Hajiji Noor that all 31 state assemblymen would each get an allocation of RM100,000 as Covid-19 aid is a good start towards depoliticisation of the constituency development fund (CDF).
