**Parliamentary Commission Gives Giorgi Gakharia Deadline to Appear**
The Parliamentary Temporary Investigative Commission has given a final deadline of July 2 for Giorgi Gakharia, the leader of the “For Georgia” party, to appear before them. This comes after the commission’s chairperson, Nino Tsulukiani, stated that despite numerous notifications and attempts to contact Gakharia, he had still not shown up.
According to Tsulukiani, the commission sent a series of notifications to Gakharia through various means, including phone calls and postal services. These included text messages, a written letter signed by the chairperson, and even a visit from a courier who delivered the notification in person. On each occasion, Gakharia or his representatives acknowledged receipt of the message and expressed awareness of their obligation to appear.
However, despite these attempts, Gakharia failed to show up for the scheduled session on June 23. Instead, his representative contacted the commission’s secretariat and requested that he be allowed to participate remotely. This request was initially rejected by the commission, with Tsulukiani stating that they required Gakharia to appear in person.
Gakharia’s failure to comply with the commission’s summons has sparked concerns about his willingness to cooperate with the investigation. The commission is looking into a number of sensitive issues, including the Chorchana episode and Georgia’s activities on the international stage.
**What Does This Mean?**
Giorgi Gakharia’s refusal to appear before the Parliamentary Temporary Investigative Commission raises questions about his commitment to transparency and accountability. As the leader of the “For Georgia” party, he has a responsibility to be open and honest with the public and with institutions such as the commission.
By giving him a final deadline of July 2, the commission is making it clear that they will not tolerate any further delays or evasions. This sets an important precedent for accountability and may have implications for Gakharia’s leadership role in the party.
**What’s Next?**
The fate of Giorgi Gakharia hangs in the balance as he faces a July 2 deadline to appear before the commission. If he fails to comply, it could lead to further consequences, including potential legal action or repercussions within his party.
The outcome will be closely watched by the public and by those following Georgia’s politics. Will Gakharia finally come clean about his activities? Or will he continue to resist accountability?
Only time will tell.
