Yearly 'Feasts' at Pantura, Java's North Coast Road

Tuesday, August 5, 2014

EVERY year the Public Works Ministry flushes away Rp1.2 trillion to fix the roads along Java's north coast, familiarly known as pantura. During the weeks before Idul Fitri at the end of Ramadan, when masses of people flock from the cities to their home villages, the 1,341 kilometers of road are usually repaired in a hurry.

Four years ago, the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) discovered indications of 'feasting' by unscrupulous officials on pantura repair projects. KPK deputy chief Busyro Muqoddas said the KPK was investigating allegations concerning the 2010-2011 repairs. For example, the antigraft agency discovered that the names of several roads that had been rehabilitated were not listed at the Public Works office. Those projects were thus "prone to fraud," he said.
