Government is supposed to be one of the main custodians of the environment, correct?
-

After all they set up the legislation, have a dedicated Department and Ministry of environmental affairs, sign all the international agreements etc. and are supposed to enforce compliance when the law is broken.

Well that is what it looks like on paper at least.
-

But when government is corrupted it becomes one of the largest polluters.

When officials are skimming off the top, one of the first places they start with is infrastructure maintenance budgets. One of the easiest of these is the ones that go to maintaing sewer treatment infrastructure, after all its just a couple of pumps and dam that smell and nobody goes near. 

Who would notice?
