The President: The Time Has Come to Adopt a Law on the Declaration of Civil Servants' Income
Uzbekistan
At an expanded meeting dedicated to the effectiveness of anti-corruption efforts and future priorities, another issue was raised – the need to adopt a law on the declaration of income for civil servants. It was emphasized that public opinion on this matter is of great importance.
Officials were instructed to submit the draft law for public discussion as soon as possible and present it by April 1.
It was also highlighted that the issue of liability for illicit enrichment should be considered.
A proposal was made to introduce a provision on illicit enrichment into the legislation. This means that a civil servant will have to prove the source of any property that does not correspond to their declared income.
The President called on the National Council and parliamentary anti-corruption committees to develop proposals in line with international standards.
"Preventing corruption begins with selecting professional and dedicated personnel for public service and giving them a ‘vaccine of integrity’," the President said.
It was noted that the leading role of the Agency for Civil Service Development and the Academy of Public Administration in training, educating, and appointing personnel has not yet been fully realized.
It was decided to abandon outdated evaluation methods such as traditional CVs and transition to an advanced IT-based system that assesses employees' qualifications, potential, and achievements.
When appointing officials, the key criterion will not be the university they graduated from or where they worked, but rather their knowledge, experience, and demonstrated results. Both the strengths and weaknesses of a candidate should be objectively considered.
It was emphasized that in the future, leadership positions should be given to young people who have worked directly with local communities, witnessed people's problems firsthand, and contributed to their resolution.
An order was given to develop a decree ensuring an open and transparent hiring process, establishing a civil servants' registry, and examining candidates for susceptibility to corruption.
