President Shavkat Mirziyoyev, who chaired a local government meeting in Tashkent province, touched on the problem of corruption, in particular, the embezzlement of state funds.
"Deputy General Prosecutor Yoldoshev, today you will be personally accountable for every soum allocated to the Tashkent province. Because even it is the president who is allocating, in fact it's all the people's money.
There are cases of embezzlement of public funds. You are arresting the briber, but what is the point if he is imprisoned after he did what he did? It is necessary to prevent and reduce embezzlements.
Make sure that every soum is spent for its purpose. Control every process from the banks to their use in their place, the president said.
