The second part of the address of the President Shavkat Mirziyoyev at the anti-corruption meeting was all criticizm. “The corruption is the biggest obstacle and barrier to our reform program.” 

"This is fully confirmed by the world experience. The corruption costs the global economy the whopping $3 trillion a year , which proves that it is a global threat." 

"Corruption is an evil that undermines people's trust in the state, the Constitution and laws and becomes a serious threat to sustainable development and security". 

“As the reforms in the country are entering a decisive stage, it is necessary to assess the work done to create an environment free of corruption in Uzbekistan and clearly define further tasks.” 

“A number of measures have been taken in the country to counter the corruption - laws have been adopted, committees in the chambers of parliament, a council and an agency for combating corruption are in operation." 

"The atmosphere of openness that brings the corruption to the judgement of the society and the public, the role and influence of the media is rising." 

“I will repeat again and again: we will always be decisive in pursuing the policis of openness and ideas of freedom of speech!” 

“I am completely unhappy with the Anti-Corruption Agency. The Agency's employees, instead of going to ministries and provinces, analyzing specific areas and proposing solutions to problems, have turned into "simple extras" counting the number of corruption-related crime”.

“The agency's management did not conduct probes in the most corrupt district health departments, employment departments or branches of banks of new modern solutions.”

“Law enforcement agencies are mainly engaged in identifying and punishing corruption crimes, ignoring preventive measures aimed at eradicating such factors.”

“To prevent corruption and address its factors, compliance departments were created and 1,285 employees were added in 117 ministries and agencies. However, their role and responsibility in eliminating corruption factors remain invisible.”

“For example, businesses are required to conduct a conformity assessment for the production and import of 6,500 types of products. Of these, 3,700 types of goods require a separate certificate for each batch.”

“However, the compliance officers of these agencies have not proposed any initiatives to reduce such lists, which complicate the lives of businesses and contribute to corruption.”

"To counter the corruption, first of all, we need to destroy its roots in the form of excessive luxury and ostentatious wealth. The saddest thing is that the very personalities are at the forefront of this, and people want to emulate them, sparing no effort or expense".

"Some officials, instead of serving by an example of a modest lifestyle, fall hostages to such false values ​​and strive for illicit enrichment," he noted.

“I call on the chambers of parliament, local councils, representatives of the public, mahalla chairmen and elders to strengthen their outreach work among the public.”

"The fight against corruption is a national task, a matter of conscience for every patriot. No one should stand aside. Therefore, it is necessary to create more opportunities for intolerance to corruption and involve the general public in this. First of all, we need to step up the activities of NGOs. This is the right way".

“The parliament should establish close cooperation with non-governmental organizations and make maximum use of their capabilities.”

“I am confident that involving NGOs in monitoring compliance with the requirements of the Convention against Corruption will bring significant results.”
