Setting up federal village development committees restores balance, says Bung

KOTA KINABALU: Setting up federal village management security committees (JPKKP) seeks to correct any imbalance put in place by previous state administrations, says Datuk Seri Bung Moktar Radin.

The Sabah Barisan chairman said that the committees, which come under the federal-level Rural and Regional Development Ministry, were to restore parity at district level after previous state administrations replaced leaders such as village chiefs, among other grassroots positions.
