But it must be noted that Dimitri Kitoshvili, Parliamentary Secretary of the President of Georgia, admitted on a special briefing organized on Wednesday that Prime Minister is obliged to present renewed staff of the government for approval to the Parliament of Georgia corresponding to Article 81 of the Constitution of Georgia, as the one third of the government of Georgia has been revised.

Tsintsadze: Only Appearance Of New Faces Might Be Beneficial For Development Of Georgia
Soso Tsintsadze evaluated the attitude of the Georgian government towards the motto “membership of one team”, carried out on the account of professionalism, as a wrong principle.
Tsintsadze told Prime-News that the permanent reign of revolution in Georgia might have only negative influence. “The government of Georgia might attract new, professional figures from intelligence and science,” emphasized Tsintsadze.
“I think staff reshuffle was carried out a little bit later. The government of Georgia really required cleansing and revision, but the motto “membership of one team” turned out to be more influential. Everybody knew from the very beginning that Lado Chipashvili was a bad minister, but he was a “team member”,” admitted Tsintsadze.
According to the viewpoint of political scientist, Lado Chipashvili is “honorably exiled” at the moment, but four years later he will end up his career with a collapse.
Tsintsadze deems that it is possible to make right conclusions about this or that minister after three months from his/her appointment. “Consequently government is obliged to carry out permanent staff rotation,” remarked the political scientists.
“I think the first person to be replaced in the government of Georgia is Zurab Noghaideli. Only if Zurab Noghaideli quits his post, I will believe that positive changes are expected in Georgia,” said he.
Tsintsadze named Giorgi Gabashvili, Minister of Culture, Monument Protection and Sport among the “bad ministers”.
Political scientist considers that healthcare and social spheres must be separated, as well as MIA and security systems. “Complicated social background indicates that the unification of these spheres are not righteous,” declared Tsintsadze.
Manana Nachkebia: More Serious Reshuffle Expected In Government Of Georgia

“Giorgi Kheviashvili, Minister of Refugees and Resettlement, will quit his post,'” noted the MP and added that dismissal of Lado Chipashvili was connected to the scandal related to Giorgi Kheviashvili.
Manana Nachkebia thinks that the staff reshuffle was part of election campaign. “Mikheil Saakashvili will attempt to create an image of a fair and careering president,” admitted Nachkebia.
