Davit Matikashvili: Neither the committees have requested officials to appear before Parliament, nor have the officials themselves approached the committees — this is the situation we have

No parliamentary committee has summoned or heard any state political official in committee format.

This information was presented by the Procedural Issues Committee, according to which, from April 1 to June 30, no committee made a decision to summon an official to a committee session. Additionally, no parliamentary faction requested the mandatory attendance of a state official at a committee session, and no officials themselves submitted a request to appear and be heard by any committee.

"Neither the committees have addressed officials, nor have the officials addressed the committees — this is the situation we are dealing with," said the Chairman of the Procedural Issues Committee, Davit Matikashvili, at today's session.

It is worth noting that the committee presented a similar conclusion in previous months as well.

This concerns the mechanism defined by the Parliament’s Rules of Procedure, according to which state officials accountable to Parliament are authorized — and, upon request, obliged — to attend committee sessions and respond to questions raised. Likewise, political officials must be heard by the committee immediately upon their request.
