Cabinet to Support Lustration Law

Zurab Zhvania, nominee for the Prime Minister’s post told the MPs today that the new cabinet of ministers would support adoption of law on lustration.

Zhvania said that Zurab Adeishvili, nominee for the State Security Minister’s position would work over the law on lustration, which will make the security service legally bound to reveal any links with foreign special services of current senior officials or nominees to such a post.

The proposal has been raised for several times for past decade; however the authorities always refrained to push the issue forward.

Zhvania vowed that the Security Ministry would undergo fundamental reforms. “The Security Ministry will not be a Soviet-style KGB any more,” Zurab Zhvania added.
