The Prime Minister has slammed the country's slowness in treating with developmental projects, describing it as specialising in "delay and obstruction."

Speaking at the sod-turning for Nutrimix's $150 million animal and pet food plant in Pt Lisas, Dr Keith Rowley said the country urgently needed to build its non-energy sector, because existing reserves are being depleted.

However, he noted despite best efforts, some in the country don't share that urgency, particularly with the slow approval process.
