Any member of the commission staff doing any task must act impartially. The power in this clause is to give the chief executive a reasonable and proportionate way of ensuring the impartiality that we all seek. The chief executive in his consultations will sensitively pick the appropriate post and create a structure that will provide public confidence. Over and above that, the essence on which our public life depends is that public officials act impartially in their role of working to their job descriptions and to the standards expected of them.
