Mr. Tsertsvadze as well as Mr. Chinchaladze have beem in a previous government, and now they represent Georgian Dream.
Mr. Chinchladze hinders the panel of judges to take an independent decision. Chinchaladze acts with government. He communicates with the government through the first deputy chairman of the Chamber of Control-Ivane Zarduashvili.
" Supposedly this person is in the electoral list of Georgian Dream. Mr. Chinchaladze"s wife- Marika Marikashvili is Zardiashvili"s employee. she has 2500 GEL as salary but no one has seen her at work. This family is completely merged with the authorities. . They are connected by financial interests,"- said Nika Gvaramia.
