"There is a need for the principle of accountability in the management of GLCs and I would like to remind all GLCs that the overriding consideration of every GLC is to not only make sure that it runs well but that it makes money," he said. "If you are sitting there, you need to change your perspective, and if you are a politician, you must work in a corporate governance structure because in GLCs, you are no longer a politician.Masidi also urged GLCs to avoid competing with other GLCs, and coming up with ideas that are already in place.
