Irakli Kobakhidze told members of the “For Georgia” faction in Parliament: “We have completely abolished the practice of transferring property for a symbolic price, which was a harmful practice - you were there, you could have done it! You didn’t do it - we did. Thank you for your attention!”

The Prime Minister said that all property privatization is now conducted through transparent auctions, unlike in the past, including during the tenure of former Prime Minister Giorgi Gakharia.

“Questions were asked about who receives property for 1 lari and whether these are government-affiliated individuals. I want to tell you that we have fully abolished the practice of transferring property at a symbolic price, except in specific cases such as free housing for internally displaced persons, etc. This was a harmful practice - you should have done it! You could have done the same. We have completely eliminated the corrupt practice of direct property transfers to specific individuals. Accordingly, corruption in this area has even become theoretically impossible. Everything now goes through transparent auctions, which was not ensured when your party leader, for example, was head of government. You should have done it - you didn’t, we did. Thank you for your attention!” the Prime Minister said.
