Mamatsashvili forced Kobulia to resign - presa.ge asserted that the reason for resignation of the minister became the property on balance of the Ministry of Economy

19-04-2019 08:42

Why Giorgi Kobulia was sacked - details about the change of the Minister of Economy are published by presa.ge.

According to the information portal, Bidzina Ivanishvili"s cousin Ucha Mamatsashvili has been forcing Kobulia to resign for more than a month.According to the edition, Ucha Mamatsashvili offered the scheme to seize the property of the Ministry of Economy in Kobuleti, but the Minister delayed the process, which caused irritation of Bidzina Ivanishvili"s favorite relative.
"Ucha Mamatsashvili controls all the large businesses with Bidzina Ivanishvili"s assistance and that"s why he talked about some large property`s privatization with the involvement of the Ministry of Economy . The Minister of Economy has dragged up this process and Natia Turvanava informed Vano Chkhartishvili and Ucha Mamatsashvili about it, so they were angry and therefore decided to get rid of Mr. Kobulia, "said Giorgi Kapanadze, the founder of" presa.ge ".
