They say a civil servant no longer has the obligation to know the Georgian language - it's a lie, we have not canceled it! (If someone reads the law, it won't be bad), - the executive secretary of the Georgian Dream, the leader of the parliamentary majority, Mamuka Mdinaradze, writes on the social network.

According to him, a person employed under a contract was not required to know Georgian earlier either, and for example, a minister could appoint a foreign advisor who did not know Georgian.

Mdinaradze also notes that if the context of the head of a structural unit upsets anyone, in this direction, the obligation to know the language can also be written for a person employed under a contract.

"They say a civil servant no longer has the obligation to know the Georgian language - it's a lie, we have not canceled it! (If someone reads the law, it won't be bad).

Why are they framing this lie, you can ask the authors of the lie, and you can do it strictly!

As for the contract employee, he was not required to do so earlier either! For example, the minister could appoint a foreign advisor who did not know Georgian. If the context of the head of the structural unit upsets anyone, in this direction, we can also include the obligation to know the language for the contract employee, it will not be so bad, in the context of the mandatory employment of locals.

We may make an exception for foreign workers, if necessary, "- writes Mamuka Mdinaradze.
