Tiada sekatan ke atas peruntukan jalan KKDW, kata MoF
Kekangan dalam proses pembayaran kepada kontraktor berbangkit disebabkan peruntukan tahun semasa telahpun dibelanjakan hampir sepenuhnya, kata MoF.
According to the Ministry of Finance (MoF), there are no restrictions placed on the allocation of funds for the Department of Rural and Regional Development (KKDW) for road projects outside urban areas. Johan Mahmood Merican, Deputy Secretary-General of Perbadanan Bank Negara, clarified that the allocation for this purpose has been fully allocated.
The MoF is working in tandem with KKDW to address this issue, including reorganizing the allocation of funds based on priorities. The MoF has also announced an additional RM300 million grant for 2026 to help resolve the delay in paying contractors. Meanwhile, the Ministry of Rural and Regional Development has announced the postponement of Operation Zero for the last four months of the year, focusing on resolving issues related to project completion, payments, land, utilities, contracts, assets, and pending decisions.
The Minister of Rural and Regional Development, Zahid Hamidi, has expressed a serious concern about the payment issue, particularly for completed work that meets the specified standards in development contracts, including road projects.
