Georgia to apply public service reform

The public service should not depend on political changes and elections, it should be a stable, self-developing structure, Head of the administration of Georgia's State Chancellery Maia Tskitishvili told journalists prior to the start of the first meeting of the Council for Development of the Concept of Public Service Reform.

The concept will be ready before the end of the year, the council's chairman Tskitishvili said.

She said that in accordance with the state program it is planned to create a professional system based on professional growth and stability.

The Council for Development of the Concept of Public Service Reform was established by the Georgian Government in July. It includes deputy ministers and representatives of non-governmental sector.
