“He emphasized that the audit should not be misconstrued as a witch-hunting exercise but rather as a universal practice aimed at enhancing service delivery and addressing identified gaps or issues.”

The LWC MD also noted that the restructuring process was aimed at stimulating growth and helping the corporation achieve its objectives.

“It should be viewed as an initiative to stimulate growth, create new opportunities, foster fresh perspectives, and drive the corporation towards achieving its objectives,” he added.
