THE SECOND PART OF THE FORMATION OF
THE MOMOGUN NATIONAL CONGRESS
The second Part of the Formation of the Momogun National Congress started with several Tea Parties coordinated and facilitated by Datuk Christine Tibok-Vanhouten in Kota Kinabalu.
The attendees were personally invited to the Tea Parties and many came to attend and interact cordially with each other even if many came from different political backgrounds and status.
The Tea Parties' Sessions started with coffee and tea and some savouries. Afterwards, the attendees sat down for discussions. At the first Tea Party held on the 23rd September 2014, Tan Sri Bernard G. Dompok was unanimously agreed upon by those present to be the Chairman of the discussions.
The Tea Parties' Meetings were always held at the Eagle's Nest Room of the Sutera Harbour Golf & Country Club in Kota Kinabalu. The Meetings were cordial and full of enthusiasm among those in attendance. At the 2nd Tea Party, the members decided that this gathering of likeminded people should be formalized by the formation of an Organization to carry out what the Momogun Community hopes for and aspire to be.
Therefore, at the 2nd Tea Party held on the 31st October, 2014 it was decided that a NGO be Registered to institutionalize the idea of the Tea Party Meetings into the new Momogun National Congress (MNC). A Sub-Committee was formed to spearhead the drafting of the Constitution of the proposed Organisation and thereafter to register it.
The Tea Party appointed the following members to look into the Constitution.
Chairman - Datuk Verus Aman Sham
Member Datuk John Sikayun
Datuk Maijol Mahap
Datuk Christine Tibok-Vanhouten
- Dr. Benedict Topin
Secretary - Juliana Situn
The Constitutional Sub-Committee had 5 Meetings before the Draft was presented to the Tea Party Members on the 16th December, 2014.
The Tea Party had 2 more Meetings before the Constitution was approved to be submitted for Registration ofthe Momogun National Congress.
For the record, the Sub-Committee submitted the name "MOMOGUN NATIONAL CONSULTATIVE COUNCIL" as agreed by the Tea Party Meeting but was turned down by the Registra Of Societies and eventually the name agreeable by all was "MOMOGUN NATIONAL CONGRESS".
The Momogun National Congress was officially registered on the 3rd June, 2015 with His Excellency Tan Sri Bernard G. Dompok as its Protem President.
The following were the first Officers of the MNC when it was registered.
