PM: no major government changes planned, culture minister to be appointed soon

Georgian Prime Minister Irakli Kobakhidze on Monday said the government was not considering any major changes, but a new culture minister will be appointed in the near future.

“No significant changes are being considered in general. The only thing is that a culture minister will be appointed in the near future,” Kobakhidze said at a briefing at the Government Administration.

Addressing possible government reshuffles, Kobakhidze described staff rotation as a “healthy process” and said officials could always be replaced by people with greater expertise.

“Improvement is always possible - someone with even greater competence can be appointed,” he said.
