Tbilisi. Transparency International Georgia has released the publication: ‘’Authorities are not reacting to public officials’ concealing of information in asset declarations’’. The pervious article published in late January on Transparency’s blog reviewed inaccuracies that the organization had discovered in the asset declarations of Georgian Parliament members. Specifically, were highlighted the cases where Parliament members had failed to indicate their connections with private companies in their asset declarations.

The blog-post published on 17th of February says: "..Reports like these also appear in the media. For example, on 16 February, the Rustavi-2 TV channel aired a report on the omissions in the asset declaration of the Tbilisi City Council chairman. ..”

According to the organization: "These cases are the latest indication that both the previous and the current government have ignored the requirements of the law, resulting in a situation where Georgia’s anti-corruption legislation is not applied effectively in practice.”
