Answer:

The answer is below

Step-by-step explanation:

It is important for the Civil Service to be politically neutral for a lot of reasons, one of which is:

Civil servants must be non-partisan: this implies that, since different government with different ideologies and personal comes and go, it is therefore necessary for civil servants not just for their own interest, but for the interest of continuity and general citizens at large, must serve whoever is the elected government of the day without being bias. This also involves, being responsible and responsive, in total commitment to the government’s policies.
