(Tbilisi. March 29, 2003. Civil Georgia) – Parliament failed on March 28 to adopt resolution requesting General Prosecutor and the President to punish officials responsible for the energy crisis.
The draft of resolution was proposed by the opposition United Democrats Parliamentary faction. Only 67 MPs voted for the draft, while 79 votes were necessary.
Parliament?s failure to adopt the proposed resolution caused protest of Parliamentary Chairperson Nino Burjanadze. She criticized those MPs, which voted against the draft of the resolution.
?It is shameful. It seems to me that most of my colleagues do not live in Georgia and do not know what is going on in energy sector of the country. This draft considered to find out officials responsible for the energy crisis. I can not understand how long we should keep silence regarding the issue,? Nino Burjanadze said at the session.
