funkcjonariuszy kancelarii prezydenta
functionaries of the president's chancellery

(This is a new way of referring to officials employed in a well known public office which has not been used before. In Polish you would normally say e.g.  "urzędników kancelarii prezydenta" which could be translated as "officials of the president's chancellery". There is a good reason why the term "functionaries" is being used so often now to replace other words such "official" or "officer").
