“We have problems in the work of law enforcement agencies. The Control Chamber handed over 38 materials to the Prosecutor General's Office, 32 of which were rejected material, and 6 of them were completed. The damage caused by people who engage in illegal activities is estimated at billions of rubles, and not a single ruble has been returned to the state from this amount. Not a single person is in prison, ” said Aslan Bzhania.

At the same time, President stressed: “It is necessary to support the strengthening of legal measures, to amend some legislative acts on combating corruption. It is very important. This problem is a very serious obstacle to us, a number of bills are already in the parliament, they need to be reviewed, they can make changes.

President also noted the importance of considering the bill on combating organized crime.

“There was sent a bill on combating organized crime  to Parliament in 2019. Unfortunately, it has not yet been considered. Please pay attention to this document. This is what our citizens want. The law will help in the fight against this evil " - said Aslan Bzhania.

Parliament Speaker Valeriy Kvarchia pointed to another important issue, namely, the adoption of the draft law on the 2021 republican budget. He expressed hope that deputies will accept it by the end of January.

“We have two big problems - a pandemic and an energy crisis. The adoption of the budget for 2021 just stumbled over the topic of energy, ” said Natalie Smyr, head of the committee on budget, credit organizations, taxes and finance.

Alkhas Dzhindzholia, Chairman of the Committee on Social Policy, Labor, Health, Demography and Affairs of Veterans and War Invalids, stressed that the draft budget for 2021 was not adopted for various reasons, including the mining problem.

“Mining farms have begun to appear everywhere with legalization of mining by the executive power. Hopefully, the executive branch will be equally decisive in helping to resolve the issue of repairing the Achguara high-voltage line. These are two interrelated topics - the issue of mining and overhead lines. While IngurHES is stopped for repairs, it is necessary to solve the problem of the Achguara line. Apparently such a high load on this line was not expected when there was made a decision to legalize mining, ” deputy said.

Ilya Gunia, Chairman of the Defense and National Security Committee said: “At a meeting in the end of December we discussed toughening measures against people involved in cryptocurrency mining, and were ready to accept such proposals, if necessary. I think that today deputies will support the proposals on toughening measures. "

“But I would like to understand the degree of responsibility of people, including officials, because of whom such a difficult situation has developed in the energy sector. We can lose our energy because of the mining, ” said Gunia.
