KOTA KINABALU: Chief Minister Datuk Seri Musa Haji Aman yesterday announced the appointment of Datuk Mariati Robert as the new state Attorney-General.
“I am indeed pleased to announce the appointment of Datuk Mariati Robert as the next state AG, taking over from Datuk Roderic Fernandes,” he said.
Her appointment took effect on August 1 this year.
Musa said the appointment marks a significant milestone as Mariati will be the second woman to be appointed AG since 1968.
“I understand that Madam Kinny Li Yun Ken was the first woman AG appointed back then,” he said.
Mariati’s appointment could be credited to her qualification and legal background, having been in the field for more than 35 Years.
She is also active in various causes especially that concerning women and was chairman of the Sabah Women Advisory for two terms.
“The state government recognises women’s roles and contributions to society and has confidence in their ability to hold high posts in government,” he said.
Musa also said this is evident in the number of women holding and managing high government positions.
“And, I believe women do deserve such posts based on merit, based on their qualification, experience and capability” the Chief Minister added.
Sabah has a full woman minister and two assistant ministers as well as permanent secretaries and heads of GLC who are women.
The state treasurer, Musa said, is also a woman and “today once again we have a woman AG”.
“I also wish to take this opportunity to thank Datuk Roderic for his impeccable service as AG to the state. I wish him all the best,” he said.New Sabah Times
