Manokwari project stands neglected

MANOKWARI, Papua: The local community has questioned the road project in Rendani, which remains incomplete over a year after the disbursement of funds.

The project also involves the reconstruction of Tanah Rubuh village, a bridge project at Wirsi, and a sewage system on Jl. Trikora Wosi.

By the end of 2002, the project tendered to CV Tomi Irja Indah had not yet broken ground, although the Rp 313.7 million (US$36,905) allotted to the project from the regional budget had already been disbursed.

Project officer Albert Rombe said the project would not start, as the regional administration had not paid the requested Rp 60 million in extra funds. -- Antara
