Incomplete Asset Declarations and Incompatible Activities of Public Officials in Samtskhe – Javakheti Municipalities Incomplete asset declarations and incompatible activities of public officials in Samtskhe – Javakheti municipalities Transparency International Georgia reviewed the declarations of public officials in Samtskhe-Javakheti municipalities (Akhaltsikhe, Ninotsminda, Akhalkalaki, Aspindza, Adigeni and Borjomi) for 2020-2021. For the research, we examined the declarations of 144 public officials of the City Halls and City Councils. We have revealed that 49 of the declarations have violations and factual inaccuracies, as well as we found out about 27 cases of incompatibility / incompatible activities for the public office. It is also noteworthy that some of the companies associated with the public officials are involved in public procurements. If the public official has a connection with an enterprise that didn’t have a turnover for 6 or for more than 6 years before the declaration filling date, or had a turnover of no more than GEL 500 during the whole year, then s/he has no obligation to indicate such enterprise in the declaration. Due to the fact that information about the turnover of the enterprise is a tax secret, Transparency International Georgia lacks the ability to check whether the companies mentioned in the research had turnover or not. Nevertheless, Transparency International Georgia believes that in order to maintain high standards of transparency and reduce the risks of corruption, it should include all the undeclared enterprises of public officials with active in its research. We have also identified alleged cases of nepotism in frames of the following research - after being appointed in the office in five municipalities of the region, family members of five high-ranking officials were employed in self-governments or in subordinate legal entities.

This work is licensed under the Creative Commons Attribution International License (CC BY). http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ Abstract Hundreds of settlements, agricultural lands, roads, oil and gas pipelines’ routes, towers of high voltage transmission lines, hydro-technical-meliorative objects, mountain resorts, etc. are period- ically experiencing strong influence of landslide-gravitational and debris flow/mudflow processes (often with catastrophic results). Almost all landscape-geographic zones—from Black Sea coastal region, to mountainous-nival, where geo-ecological situation is severely complicated, are located in dangerous area of disaster. Negative social-economic, demographic and ecological consequences caused by debris flow/mudflows and landslide-gravitational processes, are seen in all spheres of human activity. In mountainous regions there is especially complicated situation, where in condi- tions of extreme activation of disaster, in many cases population displacement and transfer to other regions is needed. Because of it, in second half of 20th century, tens of villages in mountain- ous regions were desolated and agricultural lands were abandoned.
