“I think that both ministries are important and both areas are strategically important, which is why it is irresponsible that one person is currently sitting on two chairs,” J. Karpavičienė told “Žiniai Radio” on Tuesday.
According to her, jobs in the Ministry of Social Security and Labor (SADM) may be affected if Ms. Navickieni takes the helm of the education system.
“SADM also has jobs. Such a rotation would not be the best solution, work needs to be done in SADM as well”, said J. Karpavičienė.
According to the president’s advisor, G. Nausėda is still waiting for Prime Minister Ingrida Šimonytė to submit possible candidacies for the minister of education.
ELTA reminds that Prime Minister I. Šimonytė indicated last week that nominations for the ministers of education, science and sports should be expected only in the summer – when the right-wing government will have to return the powers of the elected president. According to I. Šimonytė, there is currently no search for a replacement for the resigned G. Jakštas.
The latter left the position due to the disruption of the eleventh intermediate examinations. The Minister of Social Security and Labor, M. Navickieni, has been entrusted with the temporary leadership of ŠMSM.
According to the Constitution, ministers in Lithuania are appointed and dismissed by the president on the recommendation of the prime minister.
