KOTA KINABALU: The management of road maintenance in Sabah by road concession holders or maintenance contractors is inefficient and fails to meet the objectives of road maintenance, according to the 2018 Auditor-General’s Report Series 2 released yesterday.

The report said, based on the 2018 Road Condition Index, 55.3% of state roads are on Scale 3 (moderate) and Scale 4 (bad) which require regular maintenance, while 4.5% are on Scale 5 (non-maintainable roads) that require total reconstruction work.
