Executive Secretary of the "Georgian Dream" coalition Irakli Kobkhidze confirmed that Georgia has had a problem with the family ties of Irakli Gharibashvili. Responding to why former PM Bidzina Ivanishvili criticised the relatives of Gharabashvili, Kobakhidze stated that the criticism has been caused by a "problem" but that "it has been solved".
Kobakhidze is the first member of the "Georgian Dream" coalition to admit that there was a problem with Gharibashvili appointing relatives to top government positions.
