New Security Minister Nominated

President Saakashvili said during the meeting with the leaders of the Parliamentary factions late on February 9 that he would propose to the Parliament for approval on State Security Minister’s position Zurab Adeishvili, who is Justice Minister now.

Zurab Adeishvili, 31, was appointed as Justice Minister last month. He was an active member of Saakashvili’s National Movement party.

Unofficial reports say that current Minister of State Security Valeri Khaburdzania will become chief of the Control of Chamber, which is the main governmental watchdog and audit agency.
