2013-02-28 Two employees of Mtskheta Gamgeoba and 22 trustees were dismissed after submitting letters of resignation. Trustees maintain that they were forced into resignation after Gamgebeli summoned them and demanded that they act appropriately. None of the trustees have expressed any protest about the foregoing developments. Although no staff changes were reported in February, new employees were hired, mostly supporters of the Georgian Dream. According to Gamgebeli, this is a short-term measure as they are planning to hold exams to determine which employees will stay in the municipality.
