NGOs state that almost entire budgets of the district are already spent. In spite of the allocated and disbursed funds, no improvements have been noted in the public goods of the mentioned districts.
Reportedly, yesterday the Human Rights Center appealed to the Kakheti regional prosecutor’s office and requested that an investigation about the expenditure of the funds allocated from the central government in relation to the parliamentary elections May 21 2008 be investigated. The total amount of the allocated fund amounted to 6,805 200 GEL.
