However, legal analysis of respective law shows that confidentiality measures should be applied to prevent disclosure of information regarding the place of residence of such people. Since public registry of e-declarations does not display information on the place of residence of declarants, there are no legal grounds for closing public access to e-declarations.

For around two years we were suing Matios for this decision. Asset declarations of the SBU leadership are still hidden. 

On September 19, only 196 MPs voted in favour of the draft law. 44 MPs from the Sluga Narodu faction who were present in the plenary hall during the voting failed to support the bill. As faction head Davyd Arakhamia later explained, the failure to vote for the draft law was caused by "misunderstanding and informational special operation". A manipulation which was spread among MPs was that the draft law allegedly empowers the law enforcement agencies to hold investigative actions regarding MPs, like wiretapping or searching, without court warrants. Arakhamia informed that the manipulations were rebutted and the faction is ready to support the draft law #1009 in the version that was recommended by the Committee for the second reading. 

#1008 on judicial self-government bodies - since it was sent for a full round of consideration, the amendments for the second reading are collected through September 26.

#1031 on illicit enrichment and civil forfeiture and #1029 on NACP are considered in the Anticorruption Committee before the second reading.
