    "content": "What is the rationale for us legislating for the position of Head of Public Service? Government exists in two faces, if I may say so. There is a political face because a President is elected through an election and he becomes the Chief Executive of the country, through a manifesto and pledges. There is the proper public service, which is the traditional civil service of public servants who are ordinarily expected to be neutral. One must create an interface between the proper public service and the political system that comes with the election of a President, who is the Chief Executive of the country. The rationale to justify the creation of the Office of the Head of Public Office is so that as the titular head of the executive office of the President, he can create the necessary interface between the political system and the proper public service."
