"Ivanishvili will elect Prosecutor", "System Deficiency is Tsulukiania" - Opposition criticizes selection of Prosecutor

The Chief Prosecutor must pass several stages before the final election. The prosecutor"s council should support the candidate and then the government should support him. The last phase is the parliament where the prosecutor`s candidate will be elected for a term of six years. The Civil Sector Requirement to suspend the process was categorically rejected by the ruling party. The opposition thinks that the main problem in the Prosecutor"s Council is Tea Tsulukiani.

"Of course Ivanishvili will decide who will be the prosecutor and those who formally participate in the election of the prosecutor will fulfill the instruction of Ivanishvili," said Murtaz Zodelava, a member of the National Movement.

In "European Georgia", they say that the main prosecutor"s position should be chosen by a broad public consensus.

"The system has a lot of faults, the main fault is the Minister Tsulukiani, who chairs the Prosecutor"s Council," said Otar Kakhidze.

In majority, they say that the involvement of NGOs and academic circles in the process of selection of the Chief Prosecutor is ensured.
