Foreign Minister Datuk Seri Anifah Aman without giving timeline specifics on when the committee will be set up, simply said they plan to do it as soon as possible but confirmed it will not be led by him. "I have no one in mind now but for the time being yes, (I will handle arrangements) ... I will see to it that the committee is set up and then we have to set the Terms of Reference (TOR) which has to be backed by the State. "This is my opinion, the committee has to be legally appointed by the government because whatever agreement the end of the day has been achieved (by the committee), the government has to honour," he said, adding that they will seek the opinion of the State Attorney-General Datuk Mariati Robert on the committee formation. Anifah said this when met at the Sabah state cabinet open house at Kota Kinabalu Sports Complex in Likas here. On Wednesday, Anifah in Putrajaya announced that Najib has agreed to the forming of the committee, which will study thoroughly several issues especially on the financial rights of the oil and gas royalty, which was last paid in 1974.
