Sophia Khorguani to Irakli Kobakhidze: Your report shows that there are two Georgias: one in which you live with your illusions, and another one, which is the rest of Georgia, which does not know whether it will be lucky in "roulette" or not

Sophia Khorguani, a member of the parliamentary faction of the “For Georgia” party, addressed Prime Minister Irakli Kobakhidze during his annual report in the legislative body:

“According to your report, it seems there are two Georgias: one where you live with your illusions, fantasies, and the numbers of your ‘private statistical office,’ and another Georgia where the rest of the country lives - where people don’t know whether they will be lucky in a Russian ‘roulette’ or not,” she said.

Khorguani also posed a question to Kobakhidze on behalf of a displaced person:

“If you are unlucky, you live only on a pension and must choose between food and medicine! You might be a miner who doesn’t get paid on time, then loses their job, and even ends up in prison!

You might be a young woman who, if she survives a rapist, could die due to medical negligence along with unborn children! You might be a mother whose child leaves home and never returns - killed by drugs, criminal gangs, or a fountain built by a corrupt mayor! Yes, in our country, either you are lucky or you are not. You might be a worker on a construction site, paid a miserable wage, and one day everything ends with the statement: ‘a worker has died!’ Yes, we do not have a just order in our country, so I ask you: why don’t you increase assistance and pensions for war veterans while boasting about economic figures?

I ask you: why do you insult the Georgian army when a member of your party says in a conversation with a propaganda blogger that the army would only last five days? Yes, peace is a fundamental value, but no one has the right to insult the Georgian army, which we were proud of, are proud of, and will be proud of!

Regarding corruption, I can give specific examples. Yes, these projects did not start under your government, but they are ongoing now, with active contracts. I want to read you a question from a displaced person who instructed me to do so. This is a displaced person who has been living on 45 lari for years, and you have not increased it. They ask you to tell the Prime Minister, who says ‘where is corruption?’ - 'I received a low score, I was supposed to get an apartment, I was promised one, and I was deceived.’ They ask you to look into what is happening in the process of distributing housing to displaced persons - you will definitely find corruption there,” Khorguani stated.
