Lasha Farulava: The arrest of Akhalaia serves to cover up systemic corruption; we demanded the arrest of Liluashvili and a response to the “call centers.” We were calling the police - why weren’t the police coming? Where is Gomelauri, and why has he not been arrested?
Irakli Kobakhidze - I have information that Kakhi Kaladze had no connection with Kakha Gvantseladze's case
Kakha Kaladze on Bacho Akhalaia's case - We made calls not to take any illegal steps, but nevertheless they acted as they did - whoever committed a crime in connection with the coup attempt will be held accountable

Kakha Kaladze - When I came to the City Hall, Kakha Gvantseladze had already been working there, what does my staff mean?! I don’t have staff - it doesn’t matter, even if he were appointed by me, he will have to be held accountable if he has committed a crime
Kakha Kaladze - We will spend the most money from the 2026 budget on social and healthcare, because for us the starting point is a person and health
