**Georgia’s Government Plans to Simplify Civil Service Reorganization**
On December 9, Mamuka Mdinaradze, the leader of Georgia’s parliamentary majority, announced that a new law will be introduced to simplify the process of reorganizing the country’s public sector. This change aims to make civil service more efficient and healthy.
The Georgian Dream government has previously touted its Civil Service Law as a way to promote a professional and unified public administration. To support this reform, the government received funding and technical assistance from international organizations like the EU and UNDP.
However, hundreds of civil servants have dissociated themselves from the Georgian Dream’s policies, citing concerns about the country’s turn away from the EU. In response, government officials have stated that a “self-cleansing” process is underway, aimed at removing dissenters from their positions through reorganization.
President Salome Zurabishvili has also commented on the situation, stating that anyone who signed protests against the government will be fired through reorganization.
This development comes as Georgia’s government faces opposition and criticism over its policies. The new law aims to streamline civil service reorganization, but many are skeptical about its intentions and potential consequences.
