I’m not commenting on this particular case, but even in the best countries ‘sorting out the paperwork properly’ can be literally impossible. It might seem a sensible streightforward concept, but it often isn’t. Beuracrats often ‘criminilise’ otherwise genuine mistakes – a good starting position from their point of view!
Hmmm when all this stuff is just lying around on hillsides the overwhelming temptation for some people is just to go along and take. It still is very common over here and it’s been protected for almost 20 years now. I wouldn’t at all be surprised if this turned out to be premeditated theft.
This has been going on for ages in PNG – see over on the WIX forum for several carbon copy cases.
Cynical, but lets see what happens.
