KUALA LUMPUR: The independent consultant recruited to analyse the proposals to reduce toll rates nationwide will present its findings to the Cabinet in June.
Deputy Works Minister Mohd Anuar Mohd Tahir told the Dewan Rakyat today that the Cabinet would also look into proposals to scrap the Gombak toll after it gets the consultant’s findings in June.
He also said that the government had appointed the independent consultant to prepare the audit report on Jan 28, 2019.
The consultant is tasked to assist in studying the data on reducing tolls to drive down the escalating cost of living.
“The outcome will be tabled to the Cabinet in June, upon which the government will consider the proposals to abolish toll (collection) at the Gombak toll plaza of the KL-Karak Highway.
“We will try to give into people’s wishes but (it will be) within our capacity,” he added.
It was earlier reported that the findings would be given to the Cabinet in May.
