Sixty percent of roads in damaged

PALANGKARAYA, Central Kalimantan: Of the total 1,714 kilometers
of major roads in Central Kalimantan province, 62.85 percent are
in need of repair, which has been delayed due to funding
shortages, a senior government official said on Friday.

JB Simanjuntak, the chief of the East Kalimantan
Transportation office said the government needed Rp 300 billion
yearly for roadwork, but the amount of money available this year
was only Rp 140 billion.

He said that due to the limited funds the government would
prioritize road sections that were in dire need of repair. --
