A platform for the PNG economy

William Duma MP became PNG’s Minister for Public Enterprises and State Investment at the start of this year. He is responsible for all the state-owned enterprises that fall under the newly named Kumul Consolidated Holdings (formerly the Independent Public Business Corporation) – including Air Niugini. A former minister of petroleum and energy, Duma represents the electorate of Hagen Open in the Western Highlands Province. “I am of the firm belief that our state-owned enterprises, by virtue of their unique positions in the industries they operate in, must provide the platform on which the PNG economy can be built upon into the next century for our children and grandchildren,” Duma said recently.
