The Anti-Corruption Bureau and the Personal Data Protection Service will be liquidated from March 1, 2026. The functions and powers of these two services will be transferred to the State Audit Office.
Furthermore, from January 1, the positions of the Business Ombudsman and his deputy will be abolished, and the Business Ombudsman's office will be liquidated. The Law on the Business Ombudsman will be declared null and void.
A corresponding package of legislative amendments has already been initiated in Parliament and has been submitted to committees for consideration.
The changes were prepared by deputies from the "Georgian Dream" faction.
Today, at a briefing in Parliament, the Speaker of Parliament, Shalva Papuashvili, called these institutions "imposed from the outside."
"These changes will ensure the alignment of the governance system with the institutional framework established by the Constitution, the optimization of state resources - by approximately 20 million GEL annually, the simplification of structural functions, clearer responsibilities, and more effective management," Papuashvili stated.
