Impression that the executive branch of the Government is ruling Prosecutor's Office is being deliberately created. This is not correct and this shall not be this way, - Prime Minister of Georgia Giorgi Kvirikashvili responded to the question of press concerning his meeting with the head of the Constitutional Court.

Prime Minister noted that in the past Prosecutor's Office was managed by the executive branch of the Government, but this is not like this today.

Pursuant to the head of the Government, it is bizarre that Giorgi Papuashvili has not addressed Prosecutor's Office. However, Giorgi Kvirikashvili will meet him before the presentation of the team of MP candidates.

"However, I would like to remind him that Prosecutor's Office is not completely subjected to the executive branch of the Government. It is independent ad the foundation of this independence has been created by us throughout past several years, by adopting the important reformative decisions and ensuring that the Prosecutor's office is accountable to the Parliament. I would like to remind them this fact, since impression that the executive branch of the Government shall manage the processes is being deliberately created and this is not correct. We definitely bear political responsibility for the processes ongoing in this country and we feel this responsibility. I will meet him and hear out his pretensions," - Prime Minister noted.
