July 31, 2012
Zurab Otiashvili, majoritarian candidate of the United National Movement in Dusheti visited Mleta after the natural disaster. He promised inhabitants to add 3 thousand lari to the compensation transferred by the government.

“He was here with board authorities several days ago. He said the government had already transferred 7 thousand lari per family and he would add 3 thousand lari to it. He said they had found additional funds in the local budget. Otiashvili said the sum was ready to transfer from the bank, people just needed to open an account in the bank and victimized families would receive 10 thousand lari. We refused to accept the money until they allocate plots in Seturebi village for us to start construction of the house”, Zemo Mleta inhabitants, incurred after the natural disaster told Information Centre of Mtskheta-Mtianeti.

The ICMM tried to connect Zurab Otiashvili several times but in vain. His party has not nominated majoritarian candidate yet and Zurab Otiashvili is still member of Dusheti Municipal Board.

Law prohibits and punishes bribery or attempted bribery of the voter. Moreover, if the voter perceives that the person who is not declared candidate yet, but distributes some aid in exchange of their support in the elections, this action is punished by the law and several members of the Georgian Dream were punished and imprisoned for that reason.
