Morobe’s Tutumang Starts Reclaiming Assets

The Morobe Provincial Government  has  begun  the long tedious process of  repossessing  government property – some  of which were disposed through  questionable means over 20 years.

Over the last 12 months, the business arm of the  provincial government  investigated and successfully prosecuted two supposed owners of properties.

The ownership of 20 others are currently being investigated.

It is a mammoth  that involved  tracing source documents including  contracts of sale,  land titles  and  business ownership documents.

Then some success  early this month,  two parties were successfully prosecuted and property repossessed.

Along the two  mile area,  this block of land is one of   the properties  taken back by the Morobe provincial government.

From information obtained by the investigation,  a lot of money changed hands.  The provincial government won’t reveal just how much.  But the supposed owners of the plot didn’t have the documents in place.

Another property at Eriku has also been repossessed.   The tenants told to leave  following a court order issued after successful proceedings.

According to a completed audit, there are 20 other properties that fall under a similar category.  Some have no contract of sale. At least one block of land  was bought and  the former tenants  forced out based on a false court order.
