So they have a group of people with K110,000 in capital. What kind of resources and recognition do they need from Duma to start up the business? Sounds like either trouble or naivete.
Maybe IOC needs to sell them a gas station/mini-mart franchise and help them build it with Duma needed to grant the business license. I suspect locals aren't bringing fuel into Kerema anymore by canoes given the new road so getting the fuel into town won't be as large a challenge.
But then according to those World Bank videos there is already somebody running a fuel franchise so there'd be a case for dispute. Thankfully the beheading appears to be a practice limited to Bougainville.
I suspect just minutiae and not of any consequence. Can anyone imagine the number of balls O'Neil must have in the air these days?
