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.
