Jakarta allocates Rp 300b to repair damaged roads
The Jakarta Post , Jakarta | Mon, 04/06/2009 8:26 PM | Jakarta
The City Public Works Agency has allocated Rp 300 billion (US$26 million) to repair damaged roads across the city, an official with the agency said Monday.“A few months ago, we only focused on patching potholes because it would have been ineffective to carry out overlaying projects during the rainy season,” agency head, Budi Widiantoro, said.
“We will start the bidding process next week for the overlaying work. Around 30 contractors have expressed interest in the project contract, but we will only pick 14 or 15 of them,” he said.
Damaged roads have become an increasingly significant problem for the capital as the annual floods inundate the city, slowing traffic and causing congestion.

It's a sound plan and people oriented project.
As long as the bidding is corruption free, I believe the cost of repair would be reasonable. Also, the budget would be FULLY paid all the way down so that roads, not only major ones, but those amongst the alleys of the kampungs could get proper repair.
If only corruption is non-existent (which is rediculous to imagine, let's put it at minimal level), the beloved Indonesia could be one of the best country in the world.
You mention them, from forest products to the mines and the sea, Indonesia has it!!!!!!.
Very pitiful.....but there is always HOPE.
