A new position—State Minister for Coordination of Law Enforcement Agencies—will be introduced within the structure of the Georgian government. The Prime Minister Irakli Kobakhidze announced during a briefing.

According to the Prime Minister, Mamuka Mdinaradze will be appointed to the post and will simultaneously serve as Vice Prime Minister of Georgia.

Kobakhidze expressed gratitude to Mdinaradze for his work as Head of the State Security Service.

“Following his appointment as Head of the State Security Service, Mamuka Mdinaradze was required to step away from political activities. In his new role, he will return to politics, which will further strengthen our political team.

The creation of the State Minister position requires legislative amendments. The government will submit the relevant draft law to Parliament by tomorrow, and we call on Parliament to adopt it during the next sessional week under an accelerated procedure.

I would like to thank Mamuka Mdinaradze for his highly successful tenure as Head of the State Security Service. Under his leadership, significant systemic reforms were carried out, several important special operations were conducted, and the service achieved notable success in combating crime, particularly corruption,” Kobakhidze stated.

Mamuka Mdinaradze has been replaced as Head of the State Security Service by Geka Geladze.
