T
he Jakarta administration is set to sue a consultant tasked with planning the revitalization of Rawamangun Terminal in East Jakarta over flaws in its design.
Last year, the administration allocated Rp 47 billion (US$3.5 million) to renovate the terminal, but a crucial mistake was revealed after the completion of construction last December. The terminal's entrance is too narrow for a bus to pass, so buses are parked outside of the terminal.
Governor Basuki 'Ahok' Tjahaja Purnama said the city was preparing a lawsuit.
'It's silly that a consultant could not measure the entrance to fit a bus. This time, we will make sure that they take responsibility for their work,' Ahok told reporters at City Hall on Tuesday.
