Minister does have right to make personnel changes, says PM

Minister Kovářová does have the right to hire and fire people at the justice ministry, she said after talks with Prime Minister Jan Fischer on Tuesday. She had requested the meeting after the prime minister wrote her a letter last month saying that interim governments had a limited mandate and that he was disquieted by the number of personnel changes being made at the ministry of justice. Daniela Kovářová said she did not know what had led Mr Fischer to change his opinion on the matter.
