The Anti-Corruption Bureau canceled its decision to declare Transparency International – Georgia and its executive director, Eka Gigauri, “entities with a declared electoral goal,” the head of the bureau, Razhden Kuprashvili, announced at a press conference today.
“No one should be given the opportunity to question the results recorded by the citizens of Georgia in the elections. Based on the above and the national interest of the country, I consider it necessary to cancel all the decisions about Transparency International – Georgia and its executive director, Eka Gigauri, according to which the organization and Ms. Gigauri were tasked to make transparent the expenses incurred in political processes and make them known to the public,” Kuprashvili noted.
Based on the decision of the Anti-Corruption Bureau, Transparency International Georgia, its executive director Eka Gigauri, the “Choose Europe” organization, its director Khatuna Lagazidze and co-founders, were last week recognized as entities with declared electoral goals.
