Tbilisi. Transparency International Georgia released a blog post – "Kutaisi awaiting its 12th mayor”.

"Since 2003, 11 mayors of Kutaisi have been replaced. The process still continues and Kutaisi is currently awaiting its 12th mayor. …We believe that the frequent change of the city’s mayors and the appointment of unqualified candidates will have a negative impact on urban development and the municipal service activities”, says the blog post.

Transparency International Georgia addresses the Kutaisi council and requests that it make the certifying commission’s activities transparent, make sure that staff members are skilled, possessing proper knowledge and experience, and that the qualified individuals are selected for the two positions of the city mayor.
