A paradox, \u00a0but the fact is that in Georgia, offices of ministers or parliament members are automatically equated with earning millions, but by rule, it must not be so. Even in conditions of high salaries existing here, a minister would accumulate millions-worthy property only after 20 years of service and in case only, if\u00a0 he\/she spends absolutely nothing from such a salary. But, in contrary to the above, each of us heard many times, that a man came and occupied office for half year and then left it, declaring that he goes back to business. But in the past, he, his family members or relatives, had no business or business-doing talents but became millionaire in one year. . .\u00a0 <\/strong><\/p>\n

Yes, in Georgia only it is possible to become millionaire in one year , when\u00a0 holding a public servant\u2019s office. Look! a week ago mayor of Borjomi Municipality and chairman of local board were arrested for\u00a0 getting 200 thousand GEL bribe. If consider the scales of authority of their offices, it would be easy to understand\u00a0 how much does it cost to make a deal with a governor, head of department, minister\u00a0 . . .\u00a0 Pleas do not start now that no such deals are made. If no, how then minister become millionaires?<\/p>\n

\"
Aleksandre Chikaidze<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Last week, there was a fuss about\u00a0 Aleksandre\u00a0 Chikaidze. He held the minister\u2019s office for a very short period, he had no bank deposit, but he earned several millions and, nobody asks him how he managed to earn. We can\u00a0 say for sure that the current state power will never become interested in Chikaidze\u2019s case, and only become aware of it. Why? Because, if Chikaidze is punished, many others must be punished too, but\u00a0 this is\u00a0 a long\u00a0 chain, and its tail will come to punishers. Let\u2019s stop now with Chikaidze and \u00a0take for instance Giorgi Kobulia \u2013 a person\u00a0 who \u00a0really had his own business and millions but\u00a0 then left everything and came to the Georgia and became the minister of economy. Why? Perhaps because it was his chance to earn more , but failed to adapt with the existing environment and foresee things and. . . was dismissed\u00a0 – sent back.\u00a0 Nobody knows where is now this \u00a0former\u00a0 minister, what is he doing. Instead, we know that nobody seized of him the millions he had. Another thing is that he could not earn more here.<\/p>\n

In parallel to this, we heard for a long time that ministers\u2019 relatives – father-in-law, wife’s brother, sister-in-law, won all tenders Bur, the officials say \u2013 these tenders are electronic, we cannot influence on them. Participate yourself, you will have equal chances. But, in real, do you know how does is it work? These tenders receive finally the companies which took third or fourth places while a real winner is called to come, and he\/she is explained that must say \u201cNo\u201d on tender. The same is then applied in case of a second place winner, etc., until a company appears behind which the\u00a0 officials stand. Do not say that you know nothing about such schemes! Look through the tenders held and you will see that in at least 80% of cases a real winners are those which took second or third places. Is not it interesting?\u00a0\u00a0 A man wants to win a tender, participates, wins, and then \u2013 denies it voluntarily, by his own wish. Such cases even do not require investigation. But, nobody raises a voice with fear. Another theme is that those winners\u00a0 then donate millions to and help voluntarily the leading party<\/p>\n

\"David
David Kezerashvili<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Do not think as if we write this only towards the current officials. The situation in times of the former state power was much\u00a0 worse. David Kezerashvili, Gigi Ugulava, Givi Targamadze and\u00a0 others who came in power with one-boots by direct meaning of this word became official millionaires. Kezerashvili resides in France, has his own villa, business, his property value exceeded 100 million and, if anybody will say that he earned this\u00a0 money during 9-yeaar of his being in\u00a0 the government, we\u2019ll pass it.\u00a0 The current government\u2019s weakness is shown not by\u00a0 fact that\u00a0 it failed to prove illegality of Kezerashvili\u2019s millions and accused of it, but a doubt arises that another man is now using the Kezerashvili\u2019s channel and in other pocket these millions flow, then other man will come, and so on continuously. If calculate how many individuals earned\u00a0 millions in such an unclear situation from 2003, we will receive our doubled budget and, if this money is used for the good of the country, we would be free of any external debt , while our economy would be in progress. But no, this money flows to quite another direction, in pockets of top officials, and the grants transferred from abroad, flow also to their bank accounts. The August War was \u00a0\u00a0advantageous to the government because after it 3 billion disappeared simply \u2013 the amount that could be used for the good of the country\u2019s population. And, who was brough to responsibility? \u2013 Nobody, and we can say for sure that nobody will become liable. Not because nobody knows who is guilty but because the government takes care of itself \u2013 we keep silence, do the same you too.<\/p>\n

Yes, officials are as lambs over the budget and,\u00a0 they not only steal the budget but they eat it with a large spoon and they are sure that nobody make them answerable. Mayor of Zugdidi\u00a0\u00a0 was also arrested for bribery, but what then, a month ago, a he was noticed in\u00a0 restaurant\u00a0 – probably was released during the resting days\u00a0 because of good behavior? Maybe only mayor is distinguished b y a good conduct and nobody else among prisoners?\u00a0 No, of course. He knows much more than he told before the court and, if he starts talking about what he knows . . . We have serious doubts that the same will happen in case of top officials of Borjomi Municipality. Gigi Ugulava is accused of embezzling\u00a0\u00a0 48 millions, at first he was arrested in length of 3 years, now will be added the same and, what comes out? \u00a01 year for each 8 million. This for the identified suns, but and what about the amounts of which nothing \u00a0is known?<\/p>\n

One not less interesting record appears often in the\u00a0\u00a0 declarations of MPs or ministers\u201d as soon as they are appointed,\u00a0 other individuals have a wish to gift them something \u2013 land plot, artistic work, house. But nothing similar happens until they are appointed, only thereafter a long row of such whishers\u00a0 appears. Nobody asks \u2013 for what they are gifting such valuable properties?<\/p>\n

All this takes place in terms where the remainder population is at the brink of hunger. The former government started and the current one continued successfully that practically, there is no middle layer\u00a0 of the society in Georgia\u00a0 – either too rich or too poor. While the middle layer\u00a0 on which any state relies, is disappearing day-by-day because it becomes unable to accumulate even small money and create something worth for future or have a holiday together with family . All money is directed for daily problems. Because of such \u201cregime\u201d the population sold during 1990s all it had. And, nothing is remained to sell. If anything is, – the banks eat<\/p>\n

Unless\u00a0 one and the same laws apply in Georgia to any single individual \u2013 rich or poor, we will remain as we are now, several will earn millions in several months and spend freely knowing that nobody will ask them how they earned it. Only one law operates in Georgia to this direction \u2013 no law exists.<\/p>\n
