Quality control

Quality control for roads needed

Quality of road repairs poor

From Bisnis Indonesia

A number of road sections in Jakarta are severely damaged. Roads newly repaired look alright for a while, only to be smashed again by rain and returned subsequently to their original state, with large holes appearing all over.

Road repair in the capital city is usually conducted soon after damaged parts have claimed victims, or letters to the editor have been published in the print media. But the repair is mostly done in a perfunctory way and the quality of workmanship is low. Isn't there a working quality control function exercised by the provincial administration?

The question therefore arises as to whether the mayor's office in the relevant territory of Jakarta has no division in charge of controlling the quality of work of municipal personnel. This is particularly important given the large number of roads currently in bad repair in the city, involving thousands of road users.
