Official Business Activities Terminated by Anti-Corruption Agency
Several high-ranking officials in Uzbekistan have recently been found to have conflicts of interest due to their involvement in business activities. The Anti-Corruption Agency has reported that a number of officials are founders or shareholders in various business entities, leading to concerns about potential conflicts of interest.
To address this issue, the agency has taken measures to eliminate these conflicts of interest. Specifically, the founding and management activities of several officials in business entities have been terminated. Among those affected are the governors of Mirabad district in Tashkent city and Buston district in the Andijan region.
The officials involved include the director general of the SUE “Central Securities Depository”, the head of the “National Anti-Doping Agency”, the head of the UE “Main Information Center”, the Deputy Minister of Energy, and the director of the Pharmaceutical Network Development Agency.
These actions demonstrate the government’s commitment to addressing issues of corruption and conflict of interest within the state administration and authorities. By taking steps to prevent officials from engaging in business activities that could compromise their official duties, the Anti-Corruption Agency is working to ensure accountability and transparency in Uzbekistan’s governance.
