Temur Chkonia:"Business doesn't feel corruption" is an incorrect statement - if you live in this country, it should concern you - I think those fighting corruption are themselves the biggest corrupt ones - you can tell a corrupt person by their face

"Business doesn't feel corruption" is some kind of incorrect statement - roads aren't being built, they're of poor quality; we feel it, how can we not feel it? Who else should feel it? Millions have been spent on roads; you drive and cars are bouncing around - is that possible? - Businessman Temur Chkonia told journalists this, responding to businessman Irakli Rukhadze's position that corruption may exist, but business doesn't feel it on a wide scale.

According to Temur Chkonia, he couldn't even imagine that corruption at this level existed in the country.

"In business, you may not feel corruption on yourself" - this is some kind of incorrect statement. Corruption is the country's disease, and if you_scal live in this country, it should concern you. The scale of corruption we're hearing about today - I don't know how many years I've been in Georgia, I know so many people who might slip up, but if there was corruption at this level, with such amounts, I couldn't even imagine it, and I didn't know such amounts even existed in Georgia.

You may not feel corruption personally, but that doesn't mean such destructive corruption doesn't exist. When schools aren't renovated or built, roads aren't built or are of poor quality - we feel it, how can we not feel it? Who else should feel it? Millions have been spent on roads; you drive and cars are bouncing around - is that possible? Children can't study because a school wasn't built on time. Recently, they showed some school with such a facade and such filth inside..." Chkonia stated.

He also spoke about the investigations launched against former high-ranking officials. Chkonia hopes the ongoing investigations will not stop.

"One point is what continuation the corruption topic will have. I hope it will be unstoppable and must be unstoppable because now, as I observe, there are categories of people giving interviews - such types who fight corruption, and I think they themselves are the biggest corrupt ones; you can tell, it's visible on a person's face that they are corrupt," Temur Chkonia stated.

Regarding the question of whether he supports the planned reform in education, as Chkonia noted, "Education needs reform - why even talk about it in this uneducated country?"

"This is a topic for discussion, study, etc. Otherwise, why talk about education needing reform in this uneducated country," Temur Chkonia stated.
