Roads in Depok

Roads in Depok

From Media Indonesia

Recently, I passed the Bogor administration's office in Cibinong. I noticed that a number of workers were busy building an entry gate for the office complex. Judging from the material they were using, I am sure the construction costs a great deal. It is indeed magnificent, and I would tip my hat to the Bogor government.

However, it seems to me that the Bogor administration is building such a luxurious monument, while on the other hand, it is quite neglectful of the roads that are seriously damaged. The people badly need good roads, and certainly not the spectacular gate. For example, the road that stretches from Depok Lama to Cilebut is seriously damaged, which presents great problems to passing vehicles. If any repair work is done at all, the repaired areas never last more than a few weeks. The condition of the road will become even worse during the rainy season.

In fact, public transportation vehicles pay a certain fee for using that particular road. Can't the Bogor administration use the funds for road repair? Otherwise, what is the money being collected for?
