    "content": "As alluded, we found it difficult to know where to place the office of the leader of opposition. As we are aware, the political elite out there are clamouring - including us - for the creation of the office of the leader of opposition. Looking at it technically, there are three Arms of Government; the Executive, Legislature and Judiciary. We were unable to place the office of the leader of official opposition in any of the three arms of the Government. If it is created as an office in the Executive, we asked ourselves: How will that person sit in the Legislature? If it is an office in the Legislature, how will that person enjoy the protocols of the Executive and trappings of power? We also found that it will be a little clumsy to have both the Leader of Minority and the Leader of Official Opposition sitting in the House. We recommended that, if possible, we get another route to create that amendment."
