在政治問責官員和公務員團隊方面，政治委任制度是特區政府架構的重要組成部分。
Regarding the politically accountable officials and the civil service the political appointment system is an important constituent to the structure of the SAR Government
在政治委任制度下，政治委任官員必須緊貼社會脈搏、與社會互動，讓社會大眾多了解政府的政策，同時可廣納社會的意見，令政府的決策更"貼地"，切合社會需要。
Under the political appointment system politically appointed officials must stay up - to - date with the pulse of society and interact with the people and enable them to better understand the policies of the Government .

一些別有用心的人更通過選舉進入立法機關和區議會，嚴重濫用其公職權力，無所不用其極地癱瘓議會的工作和運作，阻撓香港特區政府依法施政，很多經濟和民生議題也因此無法得到及時的解決。
Some people who had ulterior motives even entered the legislature and District Councils through elections and they seriously abused their rights while holding public office . Resorting to every conceivable means they paralysed the work and operation of the Councils and obstructed governance by the HKSAR Government in accordance with the law . As a result many issues relating to the economy and peoples livelihood could not be resolved in a timely manner
而在議會外，這些反中亂港分子則為暴力行為撐腰，嚴重危害香港的管治和憲制秩序，挑戰國家主權，對國家安全造成極大威脅。
Outside the Councils these anti - China and destabilizing forces supported and glorified violence . They seriously jeopardized Hong Kongs governance and constitutional order and challenged national sovereignty posing a grave threat to national security

In recent months DOs and their teams have done much to coordinate and support the many mandatory testing and operations in restricted areas carried out in different districts amid the epidemic . The importance of their role is fully demonstrated
我相信各政策局及部門會繼續全力配合及支持民政專員的工作，以提高政府在地區層面解決問題、處理民生課題及加強社區建設工作方面的能力。
I believe all bureaux and departments will continue to give full support to DOs so as to enhance the Governments abilities to resolve district issues address livelihood issues and improve community development
