2016-08-02 Head of the UNM office in Baghdati, Giorgi Robakidze reported problems with renting a space for the local office. For years the UNM had been renting a space under the ownership of the local government. As the expiration date of the existing rent approached, they requested extension of the rent agreement from Acting Gamgebeli. Gamgebeli took the issue to the Sakrebulo session, in which Sakrebulo majority voted against extension of the rent, on grounds that the space had already been allocated for the Foundation for Information Support, Ethno-Culture and Development of Tourism (a non-commercial legal entity). ISFED observer contacted head of the Foundation Gocha Khorava to verify the information only to find out that Mr. Khorava was not aware that Sakrebulo had allocated a space for his organization
