Duma was responding to questions raised by Gulf Governor Havila Kavo on policy guidelines to protect resources.
Kavo highlighted that many of our natural resources can be processed, extracted and developed into finished products in the country.
He asked if the Government has a defined industrialisation policy in place to process many of our natural resources like hydrocarbons, minerals, timbers, marine and all the energy resources.
In response, Duma confirmed that there are many policies that are developed and promoted by various government departments.
