Staff Cut at President’s Office

State Minister Zurab Zhvania said today that the State Chancellery will be renamed as the President’s Administration.  
 
He added that, number of the employees of the State Chancellery will be reduced from 600 to 120.

“However, all of them will have a chance to pass a test and keep their posts in case of success,” Zurab Zhvania said.
 
Head of the State Chancellery Petre Mamradze told reporters that liquidation of this structure is rather difficult and needs time. 
 
Recently President Saakashvili appointed MP Irakli Chubinishvili as a chief of his new administration.
 
Irakli Chubinishvili is the member of the State Minister Zurab Zhvania’s United Democrats party.
