I cannot and will not address any of these individual controversies. However, I would like to make a suggestion as to how they can be avoided in future. In the first instance, the President and the Government should create a presidential liaison office. This would be helpful to both the Executive and the President.

Second, a constitutional committee should be established to examine and provide clarification in respect of the functions and powers of the President.
