Business Ombudsman, Deputy Business Ombudsman Resign

Business Ombudsman Irakli Lekvinadze and Deputy Business Ombudsman Levan Kalandadze have stepped down.

The information was confirmed by the press service of the Business Ombudsman.

“It was our desire. The press service will comment on the reasons. I categorically rule out any political interference,” Kalandadze said, adding that both of them will likely continue working in the same field.

The new Business Ombudsman of Georgia shall be appointed by the Prime Minister.

Unconfirmed reports say that Giorgi Gakharia has already selected the new candidacy for the post of Business Ombudsman: former lawyer of the Economic Council, Mikheil Daushvili.
