The issue of removing Nana Qeinishvili from the National Bank Council

Status of a National Bank Council member

Former President of the National Bank and opposition politician Roman Gotsiridze states that removing Council member Nana Qeinishvili from activities constitutes a gross violation of the law. According to him, this action keeps the National Bank's leadership in a legal crisis. Interpressnews+1

According to Roman Gotsiridze's explanation, the Law on the National Bank of Georgia does not provide for the temporary suspension of a Council member's authority, and the authority to dismiss a member belongs only to the Parliament of Georgia. The politician notes that decisions made by the Council, which will be adopted with a "defective composition," will be at serious risk of being invalidated. Interpressnews+1

According to Roman Gotsiridze, a Council member can be recused only in the event of a conflict of interest when discussing a specific issue, but the Council does not have the right to fully restrict a member's activities. Interpressnews+1
