Four days have passed since the tragedy and until now no public figure, no official has been punished and you tell us to wait for the investigation. I don't remember when and what you investigated, National Movement MP Levan Khabeishvili said at the plenary session of the Parliament.
The opposition politician recalled the collapse of the ceiling in the Varketili subway a few years ago and asked which high-ranking official was punished for the incident.
"When the ceiling fell in Varketili, who was punished for it?! Which high official?! No one was killed, but the health of several people was harmed then, although we have not seen anyone punished," Khabeishvili said.
According to the member of the National Movement, four days after the tragedy in Vake Park, the ruling party wants some worker to be the culprit, not an official.
"How many officials were there at the opening of the fountain in Vake Park? All offices of the City Hall, representatives of the City Council were there. According to the video and photos, there were about 100-150 people at the opening. Since then, everyone has been hiding, no one wants to take responsibility. If something is broken, it is the fault of the worker, and if something is done, it is the merit of Kaladze," said the MP.
As Levan Khabeishvili said, he has made numerous statements on corruption issues regarding Green Service and filed a lawsuit with the Prosecutor's Office. According to him, if these cases had been investigated and these people had been actually punished, this company would not have been able to make the Vake Park fountain.
"When you let the company, which did the examination of the ceiling in the Varketili metro, be in charge of the Vake Park fountain, what should we talk about after all this?! No one is saying that anyone is happy about the death of the angel child. I understand that it is difficult, but where is the responsibility? Who is responsible for anything in this city? And you want us to keep quiet about it?" added Khabeishvili.
Three children were electrocuted when they were trying to retrieve the ball that fell in the fountain in Vake Park. The children were taken to the clinic by an ambulance. The condition of one of the children, a 13-year-old girl, was serious from the beginning and she died in the Khechinashvili clinic. One child is still in Iashvili clinic, and another is placed in New Hospitals clinic.
The Ministry of Internal Affairs launched an investigation under Article 240 prima of the Criminal Code, which refers to the violation of safety rules, which resulted in less serious or serious injury to health. According to the Deputy Minister of Internal Affairs, in the course of ongoing investigative proceedings, the case was re-qualified under Article 240 (1) I and II parts of the Criminal Code of Georgia, which implies the breach of safety regulations at electric facilities that resulted in death. The committed crime envisions from 4 to 7 years of imprisonment.
