Dear Maia

Once again today we discussed your request about Fraud & Corruption Agreement. We need to know in advance what transaction information we need to provide and what documents to sign to assess whether it will adversely affect us. We have requirements to keep business and transaction secrets, not all documents can be provided to third parties. So I hope to provide a detailed explanation and make a list for our evaluation.

With best regadrs

Dear Mike,

Thank you for your email. We totally understand your concerns and therefore, would like to further clarify the need as well as outcome of the Fraud and Corruption Agreement.

First of all, the spread of pandemic was abrupt and caused exhaustion of otherwise scarce government resources, including funds. In hope to receive the International Financial Institutions’ financial help, Government of Georgia mobilized
unprecedented funds from its limited budget. The replenishment of this funds is now a paramount importance.

Secondly, the presented Fraud & Corruption Agreement is the written approval that the contract was not signed on a fraudulent basis and you as a firm are not sanctioned and debarred from the Bank. Which is true even without this agreement.
It is also written consent that you will collaborate with the World Bank in case they request
related documents to this procurement only.

I hope for your understanding and reconsideration of your decision.

Should you seek further clarification, please do not hesitate to reach out.

With best regards,

Maia

Dear Maia,

Please check the attached file.

Regarding Acceptance of the World Bank’s Anticorruption Guidelines and Sanctions Framework we are sorry to regret your request. As you know we are state company and we can’t accept this kind
of procedure. Especially this special period when China-USA relations are not in the best level.

Sorry and thanks for everything

Mike Liu
