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.
