The arrest of the former minister is very regrettable, but we cannot be loyal to corruption, – Georgian Prime Minister Irakli Kobakhidze said in connection with the arrest of former Defense Minister Juansher Burchuladze.
According to him, the goal of the Georgian Dream is for Georgia to take a place in the top three in Europe in terms of the least corruption.
“The fight against corruption is one of the main priorities for our team. This fact itself, the arrest of the former minister, is very regrettable, but we cannot be loyal to corruption. We have an ambitious goal, which I have repeatedly stated, including when I was reporting to the public and members of parliament in parliament – our ambitious goal is to take a place in the top three in Europe in terms of the least corruption,” – said Kobakhidze.
According to him, revealing past crimes is also important in order for this to have a preventive effect.
“What happened in the past, crimes, is also important in order for all of this to have a preventive effect. When a syndrome of impunity appears, naturally, the temptation to commit corruption increases. In general, this is the case with any crime. Therefore, we need to take effective measures to take maximum care of prevention,” Irakli Kobakhidze said on Imedi.
