Prior to the establishment of the Bangsamoro region, Sinarimbo served as consultant and resource person for the Philippine national government, armed non-state organizations, and non-governmental organizations. He was part of the Legal and Technical Working Group of the MILF Peace Panel which was involved in Philippine national government's peace negotiations with the Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF). He also aided in the creation of a draft for the Bangsamoro Organic Law as well as the transition of the MILF into a non-armed advocacy group through helping them setting up the United Bangsamoro Justice Party.[1] Sinarimbo became the party's secretary general.[2]
Sinarimbo was appointed as the first minister of the Ministry of the Interior and Local Government on February 26, 2019, by interim Bangsamoro Chief Minister Murad Ebrahim.[3] As local government minister, he has overseen the putting up of municipal government buildings and police stations in various towns in the region. He is also involved in organizing Bangsamoro's Rapid Emergency Action on Disaster Incidence.[4] He resigned on December 6, 2023.[5] Sinarimbo was succeeded by Sha Elijah Dumama-Alba on the following day.[6]
In April 2024, Sinarimbo joined the Serbisyong Inklusibo–Alyansang Progresibo (SIAP) political party.[7] He was believed to have been targeted in a grenade throwing incident on his cafe in Cotabato City in August 2024.[8]
