No one has ever done such a thing to arbitrarily remove an issue from the agenda, this is a gross violation of the Constitution - Usupashvili

The Parliament has been functioning for more than 30 years and no one has ever done such a thing to arbitrarily remove an issue from the agenda. Such a statement made today David Usupashvili, MP from Lelo.

“They tell us that before each plenary week that we have to approve the agenda anew. Let’s read what the agenda means – “The Bureau of the Parliament draws up the draft agenda based on the list of bills and other issues under consideration”, that is, the issues to be voted on have never been part of the agenda and it is impossible to be on the agenda.

The Bureau or the plenary session may put or not put on the agenda the issues that are to be discussed, not the issues that have already been discussed, which are automatically transferred to the basket of issues to be voted on. It happens sometimes that there is an issue in this basket, but it is not voted on.

This happens when there is a political agreement, when the initiator makes such a request. The Parliament has been functioning for more than 30 years and no one has ever done such a thing to arbitrarily remove an issue from the agenda - we will not leave this without response. This is a gross violation of the Constitution, because the right guaranteed to 50 MPs has been canceled by 12 or 14 members of the Bureau”, - said David Usupashvili.

The issue of creation of an investigative commission regarding the court was not included in the agenda of the voting issues of the ongoing week’s plenary sessions of the Parliament.
