Opposition Says Government Spends Budgetary Funds Illegally

The leaders of the opposition Republican party raised concerns over a draft amendment to the 2005 state budget, envisaging an increase of expenditures by 26 million Lari (USD 14.4 million).


At a news briefing on September 22, the Republicans claimed that the government has already spent funds, basically from the President?s and the government?s funds, illegally and now they want to legalize this spending. 


Finance Minister Lexo Alexishvili denied the opposition?s accusations as groundless, saying that the budgetary funds were not spent illegally. 


The Parliament will vote for the budgetary amendments sometime next week.
