The functions of the environment protection and natural resources ministry will be divided between the economy ministry and the agriculture ministry. The functions of the sports ministry will be passed to the education and culture ministry.

As for candidatures of ministers, current Economy Minister Giorgi Gakharia can be appointed to the post of interior minister instead of Giorgi Mgebrishvili. Dmitry Kumsishvili can come back to the post of economy minister. He can become the first deputy prime minister and be in charge for the economic section of the government. At the same time, two new ministers are expected to be appointed; Education Minister Alexander Jejelava is expected to be replaced.

Commenting on the report, first deputy chair of the parliamentary committee for human rights Gedevan Popkhadze said that if Giorgi Kvirikashvili proposes a new and effective team to the MPs, they would express confidence to it.

“This is not the first reshuffle in the government. When we hear arguments of the prime minister, we shall make conclusions. Probably, I have my own opinion in advance, though, it would be better for me to have all my questions answered so I could make a public statement after that. We expressed confidence to Giorgi Kvirikashvili, and if he proposes a new and effective team, we shall express confidence to it,” Popkhadze said.
