Davit Usupashvili: The Parliament has been functioning for more than 30 years and no one has ever done such a thing to arbitrarily remove an issue from the agenda

The Parliament has been functioning for more than 30 years and no one has ever done such a thing to arbitrarily remove an issue from the agenda - we will not leave this without response, because it is a gross violation of the constitution, - Lelo MP Davit Usupashvili told reporters.

As he mentioned, the ruling team is panicked that their crimes will be exposed by the commission.

"They tell us that before each plenary week that we have to approve the agenda anew. Let's read what the agenda means - "The Bureau of the Parliament draws up the draft agenda based on the list of bills and other issues under consideration", that is, the issues to be voted on have never been part of the agenda and it is impossible to be on the agenda. The Bureau or the plenary session may put or not put on the agenda the issues that are to be discussed, not the issues that have already been discussed, which are automatically transferred to the basket of issues to be voted on. It happens sometimes that there is an issue in this basket, but it is not voted on. This happens when there is a political agreement, when the initiator makes such a request. The Parliament has been functioning for more than 30 years and no one has ever done such a thing to arbitrarily remove an issue from the agenda - we will not leave this without response. This is a gross violation of the constitution, because the right guaranteed to 50 MPs has been canceled by 12 or 14 members of the Bureau. It is an unprecedented thing. 12-14 members of the Bureau block the constitutionally guaranteed powers of 50 people”, Usupashvili said.

The issue of creation of an investigative commission regarding the court was not included in the agenda of the voting issues of the ongoing week's plenary sessions of the Parliament. The draft agenda of the plenary sessions of the Bureau of the Parliament was presented yesterday, but the draft resolution on the creation of the investigative commission is not included in the list of voting issues.
