The Ministry of Justice Responds to the Information Spread by One of the TV Companies Regarding the "Business-Trip" Expenses Incurred by the Agency
In particular, in a manipulative story with a flashy background of planes and pilots, which aims to mislead the public, it is said that, allegedly, the leadership of the Ministry spent up to 7 million GEL in six months on flights related to business trips.
We clarify that 6.4 million GEL of the amount indicated in the story is the expenses incurred by the National Agency of the Public Registry for business trips within the country within the framework of the reform of the systematic land registration, which involves the travel and accommodations of 750 land surveyors throughout the country in order to measure land plots in different municipalities, as well as, for organising trainings, working meetings with city hall representatives and residents in 64 municipalities. This expense is included in the systematic land registration budget.
As of today, within the framework of land reform, 612,609 land plots with a total area of 194,530 ha have already been measured and 482,190 land plots with a total area of 173,272 ha have been registered. Systematic registration of land throughout the country started in 2022, it is completely free for citizens and is funded by the state.
