The results saw Sedidik’s team, Hachi Suno, clinching first place, followed by Kenyalang Drone from KPWK in second, and Ckei Nova from JKMS securing third.
These achievements reflect the diverse approaches taken by the groups in tackling organisational challenges and enhancing efficiency.
KPWK expressed its appreciation to all participating teams, particularly those representing JKMS, for their dedication and hard work.
The ministry emphasised that the projects presented have had a significant impact on departmental operations and service delivery, underscoring the importance of innovation in the public sector.
Organisers noted that the convention is more than a competition; it is a platform to cultivate a culture of creativity and continuous improvement within the ministry and its agencies.
