Tbilisi. Transparency International Georgia released a statement about the midterm report of the Interagency Task Force. "Under issue number three, the document mentions Transparency International Georgia's study on the public office staffing policy, which was presented to the Task Force by the United National Movement, noting that the dismissal of the staff was politically motivated. ...At IATF’s September 2 session, the representative of our organization clarified that the report had not reached such conclusions, and that the suspicion that the staff dismissal was based on political motives only emerged in individual cases. ...Therefore, this topic should have been dropped from the agenda. Despite this, our study still appeared in the midterm report of the Task Force and is negatively characterized. Accordingly, we find it necessary to respond to the comments of the Interagency Task Force and to present our position", says the statement.
