Kota Kinabalu: Sabah Progressive Party (SAPP) said the announcement to build a coastal road linking Tuaran, Kota Belud and Kudat is merely to cover up the delay to repair the Ulu Kukut road linking the three districts and Kota Belud.SAPP Information Chief, Chong Pit Fah, said the project to repair the five-kilometre Ulu Kukut road had been awarded two years ago but has yet to be completed."Thousands of people travelling to Kota Marudu via Ulu Kukut road every day have been feeling discomfort for so many years.

"It has been rumoured that the Ulu Kukut road project was valued at about RM70 million," he said.

Chong said it is also puzzling why State Assembly Speaker, Datuk Salleh Tun Said, and Kota Belud Member of Parliament, Datuk Rahman Dahlan, never voiced out about the Ulu Kukut road delay.
He said it is highly questionable there is a need for a new bypass within the same route because there are already roads linking Tuaran, Kota Marudu and Kudat.
