Head of the "Chamber of Culture" Davit Okitashvili published an appeal on social media, where he accuses former Minister of Culture Tinatin Rukhadze of deliberately restricting his activities and damaging his reputation. Okitashvili calls on law enforcement agencies to examine the former minister's activities and demands the disclosure of expenses related to the funeral of Patriarch Ilia II. In addition, Okitashvili states that Rukhadze restricted his communication with representatives of the cultural sector and halted the "Opening of Stars" project. The statement also mentions Mamuka Mdinaradze, about whom Okitashvili writes that, according to Rukhadze, Mdinaradze hates him. Interpressnews+2

Member of the parliamentary majority Tengiz Sharmanashvili stated that after Okitashvili's statement, the Prosecutor's Office is obliged to check the issue and summon Okitashvili to present his arguments. According to Sharmanashvili, if the arguments are weighty, the Prosecutor's Office should question Tinatin Rukhadze, Mamuka Mdinaradze, and other individuals. According to some sources, Sharmanashvili says that the Prosecutor's Office should begin an investigation regarding Rukhadze, while the deputy himself notes that we should wait for legal procedures on this topic. 1TV+5
