Businessman Mamuka Khazaradze, who has recently entered politics, says that Georgia is in need of new judges as many of the current judges have made politically biased decisions in the past.
He said that if the state fails to put together a court system with new and qualified specialists after the 2020 parliamentary elections, judges should be invited from abroad.
The process which is ongoing in parliament today [hearing of candidates for the Supreme Court of Georgia] is a farce and we must oppose this for the future of our children,” Khazaradze said.
