Ranau: The Road Transport Department branch, here, will be given the authority to register and transfer the ownership of motorcycles starting Aug. 1.Its Director General, Dato Hj Solah Mat Hassan, said motorcycle owners need not go down to Kota Kinabalu just to get their bikes registered or ownership changed.

He is also thinking of expanding the services for other vehicles starting next year as the requirement is there, looking at the distance from here to the State capital and all.

However, the number of staff has to be increased, he said, at the 1 Community 1JPJ course closing ceremony at the Kg Lohan mini hall here.
