COTABATO CITY – A member of parliament of the Bangsamoro Transition Authority (BTA) today assumed as the new minister of the Ministry of the Interior and Local Government (MILG-BARMM) replacing lawyer Naguib Sinarimbo who earlier resigned from his post.
Lawyer Sha Elijah B. Dumama-Alba, BTA floor leader, was appointed by Chef Minister Ahod Balawag Ebrahim as new MILG minister effective Dec. 7, 2023.

“I met with our co-workers in the Ministry this morning to personally thank them for all their work and sacrifices over the years,” he said.
Interviewed by reporters after meeting his subordinates, Sinarimbo said: “I am confident that we have built a solid bureaucracy in the Ministry with competent and dedicated public servants.”
“May I express my profoundest gratitude to all of those who supported us during our stint as the Minister of the MILG. i step into the world of civilian life with a renewed sense of freedom.”
