PEKONG bernanah yang cuba disembunyikan OKK William Majimbon yang memperkenalkan dirinya sebagai Ketua Daerah Kota Kinabalu selama ini akhirnya terdedah apabila peranannya melakukan dwi-fungsi yang bertentangan antara satu dengan yang lain didedahkan olehnya sendiri di Mahkamah Tinggi Sandakan.
Di samping melaksanakan tugas sebagai Ketua Daerah Kota Kinabalu beliau juga turut memainkan satu peranan sulit menjadi ‘gunting dalam lipatan’ (Brutus) kepada kepentingan Kaum Anak Negeri Sabah.
Walaupun secara hakikinya beliau bertugas sebagai Ketua Daerah Kota Kinabalu yang menerima gaji daripada Kerajaan Negeri Sabah, OKK William Majimbon juga adalah ‘Chief Khadam’ yang menjalankan kerja sulit kepada jutawan Kwan Ngen Wah dan Kwan Ngen Chung.
Demikian fakta didedahkan sendiri oleh OKK Wiliam Majimbon pada 28 Julai 2010 ketika memberi keterangan bersumpah di Mahkamah Tinggi Sandakan buat kali yang kedua di hadapan Pesuruhjaya Kehakiman, Tuan Lee Heng Cheong.
OKK William telah disapena buat kali kedua ekoran pendedahan oleh bekas Pengarah Jabatan Hal Ehwal Anak Negeri Sabah, Haji Mohammad Said Hinayat.
Dalam keterangan bersumpahnya sebelum ini, Haji Mohammad Said mengatakan surat sokongan kepada mendiang Kwan Ah Hee dan anak-anaknya yang dikeluarkan olehnya selaku Pengarah Jabatan Hal Ehwal Anak Negeri adalah berasaskan kepada surat yang dikemukakan kepadanya oleh OKK William Majimbon.
Surat Haji Mohammad Said Hinayat, mengesahakan keluarga mendiang Kwan Ah Hee adalah keturunan Anak Negeri berasal dari Sabah. Mahkamah dimaklumkan bahawa surat Haji Mohamad Said telah dikeluarkan berasaskan surat OKK William Majimbon dari Pejabat Mahkamah Anak Negeri, Kota Kinabalu yang tidak dijelaskan oleh OKK William ketika memberi keterangan pada kali pertama dia disapena.
Pada 15 Julai 2010, Haji Mohammad Said mengakui ketika memberi keterangan bersumpah di Mahkamah Tinggi Sandakan di hadapan Pesuruhjaya Kehakiman, Tuan Lee Heng Cheong dia adalah pembuat surat yang dialamatkan kepada Pengarah Jabatan Tanah dan Ukur menyokong mendiang Kwan Ah Hee, Kwan Ngen Wah dan Kwan Ngen Chung berketurunan kaum Anak Negeri berasal daripada Sabah yang layak memiliki tanah di bawah syarat NT.
Menurut isi kandungan surat bertarikh 30 Oktober 2007 itu, Haji Mohammad Said Hinayat memperakui telah ‘berjumpa sendiri’ mendiang Kwan Ah Hee sedangkan sebelum ini, seorang saksi daripada Jabatan Pendaftaran Negara memperakui Kwan Ah Hee yang berbangsa Cina telah meninggal dunia pada 8 Ogos 1997.
Dalam keterangan bersumpahnya, OKK William juga memaklumkan mahkamah bahawa dia ada melakukan kerja-kerja lain atas permintaan Kwan Ngen Wah.
Menurut OKK William Majibon dia ada berusaha menghubungi Ketua Daerah Tuaran bertujuan merisik rahsia mengenai lawannya atas permintaan Kwan Ngen Wah.
Antara saksi baru yang turut disapena memberi keterangan adalah bekas Pengawal Pejabat Mahkamah Anak Negeri Haji Karim B Ujud yang telah dinaikkan pangkat sebagai Kerani Mahkamah Anak Negeri di Kota Kinabalu sebagai membalas jasanya membuat laporan polis palsu berhubung isu kehilangan fail dan doket Kwan Bersaudara.
Atas arahan daripada OKK Wiliam, Haji Karim Ujud dipercayai telah membuat satu laporan palsu kepada Polis mengenai Buku Daftar Mahkamah dan atau fail Mahkamah yang kononnya telah musnah.
Berikut adalah petikan nota prosiding OKK William setelah disapena buat kali kedua untuk memberi keterangan di MahkamahTinggi Sandakan pada 29 Julai 2010.
