We can not say Shashkin is much for democracy, but he continues his career climbing way despite the fact that he did not showed his positive side in any area of his activity (justice and education).

Factually he has already completed a new staff of the State Office. We will see soon his big suite in the State Office which followed him as well from Penitentiary Ministry to Education Ministry.

According to the information of GHN, last week in the Finance Ministry staff was forced to sign the statements about leaving the job because of the reorganization of the ministry. Lobby interviews are that - "Nika will return", this return is explained by the "understanding "of new tax code and corresponding administration method. But trusted sources said that Gilauri himself prefer Energy Ministry.

To the post of economic minister several candidatures are reviewed, but the final decision is not reached yet. Vato Lejzava who is a cadre (personnel) of Kakha Bendukidze; Davit Qarseladze, who recently leaved post of "Financial Policy's head"; Kakha Baindurashvili; who has to leave the post of Finance Minister - are candidates for the Office of Economic Minister. Moreover President was unsatisfied with the investment policy implemented, and now the negotiations are pending for the return of several persons being abroad, who are operating in different financial and investment funds.

It is possible that the Infrastructure and Regional Ministries will join Economic Ministry; this joined body will be headed by Davit Tkeshelashvili.

Health minister question is on the agenda again. Unsuccessful insurance policy, the theme of "Block Georgia" and other social issues, are the subject of constant troubles for government, coursing it to make excuses. This will be a final verdict for Alexander Kvitashvili, health minister.

Government decided to make reforms in healthcare ministry, and the ministerial post will be handed to oppositional party "Christian Democrats", probably to Magda Anikashvili. It is already several months as this question is discussed, but government cannot find justified ways for this step.

Now, when oppositionist Viktor Dolidze is handed the Sakrebulo, the government will declare its faithfulness to the course taken and the ways for the Magda Anikashvili's ministerial post will be found.

It is truth that taking this decision government will say once more "No" to Zaza Gorozia who is long enough in the post of governor. But if his team members will be faithful to him at least at this moment he, Samegrelo governor, will take a ministerial post. His candidature is reviewed to the post of Environment Minister. And it is truth again that Goga Khachidze's insufficient fight against criminal actions in his ministry will not be excused by slogans only "Misha is good!" However, likewise the health ministry this body as well can be handed to the oppositional representative. Moreover Gia Tortladze climes, have his team members treated appropriately. The same wishes and demands have National Democratic Party.

It was considered, that Bakur Kvesereli, Agriculture Minister made a step for surviving when dismissed immediately head of Food Safety Department. However it is unclear how long it will last for Kvesereli.

Special attention needs the Education Minister's post, Dmitri Shashkin sees here one of his deputies. Shashkin is against Maya Miminoshvili's appointment on this position. However she has many lobbyists in the government. So, the candidature of Education Minister will be considered at the very last.

Most likely changes will affect Penitential Probation and Legal Assistance Ministry. Kalmakhelidze (minister) did not justified hopes based on his charm only. The Penitential system remains one of the painful questions for the Rose Revolution government. It is considered to join the ministry to the Justice Ministry. The only obstacle in such event is the existence of two bodies - penitential and procurator's under the same hood. If the similar cases do exist in the world, then the question will be over and in this hot summer this reorganization will be decided as well.

Vera Qobalia, head of NGO "For Justice' became a person of interest for the last period of time. Her candidature was considered as a chairperson of Abkhazian government as well to the post of Economic minister and as Minister of Refugees. No wonder if we will see her as a head of some ministry, most likely as a chairperson of Abkhazian government.

Vano Merabishvili, Zurab Adeishvili, Nikoloz Rurua, Grigol Vashadze and Bacho Akhalaia are the quintet whose replacement is not likely to happen. But others may face a new stage of life.
