On December 21, President Shavkat Mirziyoyev chaired a govt meeting on land registration and the formation of state cadastres. “Frankly speaking, in the last 30 years, land accounting has not been established in Uzbekistan. There is no responsibility or accountability. In Uzbekistan, neither parliament oversaw, no one monitored, no one controlled,” the head of state said.

Shavkat Mirziyoyev underscored "there are many cases of corruption in the land issue." “We adopted the law, but the prosecutor’s office is not making use of it, or unable to use it,” he said.

“I have records of the words of many mayors said: 'Don't make inventory check yet, six months,'” the president said.

According to him, the area of ​​land allocated to 30 thousand farmers is 67 thousand hectares more than it is specified in the document. “This is all bribery. Nobody will give even a hectare or a hundred square meters of land? " - he noted.

He underscored the problems in the field of road cadastre, electricity, gas and water supply, improvement facilities and multi-storey residential buildings.

“Bribery and corruption, mayors and prosecutors are clearly behind this,” the president said. “The prosecutor general has to tell everyone whether they like it or not. According to the Constitution, the major anti-corruption body is the prosecutor's office. This is their constitutional duty. "

The President addressed to the Prosecutor General Nigmatilla Yuldashev.

“Mr. Yuldashev, we must categorically tell everyone that bribery and corruption are behind this. You need to prosecute, not just hold meetings. If you start bringing big mayors to criminal responsibility, I will start to respect you,” the head of state said.
