Tbilisi. Transparency International – Georgia has echoed the 25 January 2013 order of the Minister of Interior of Georgia. The organization explains that the amendment to this procedure provides an opportunity to appoint or promote a police officer without any preliminary training and relevant testing. "It should be noted that special courses and education programs aim as to raise professional skills and knowledge, as well as to select the professional staff objectively. By putting aside the professional education program and the training courses, the objective preconditions of selection are temporarily revoked, thus increasing the risks of subjective decisions and nepotism", says the organization's web page.
