«The minister failing to cope with his job will resign,» the president said

During the event, Shavkat Mirziyoyev sharply criticised ministers who fail to cope fully with their duties.

"We talk a lot about corruption, but why shouldn't a minister be held accountable if corruption is allowed in his system?

Now the enquiry will be different.

The minister is the first to be responsible for the efficient and purposeful use of funds allocated to his system.

Representatives of the state should win the love of our people through their honest work, simplicity, popular character, sincerity and selflessness.

Now that the political responsibility of ministers has been increased, draft government decisions, important social and economic issues concerning the life of our country are decided collegially, with the direct participation of ministers.

In order to solve problems in each area, a "government day" will be organised every month with an on-site visit.

The minister will report to the public on his/her plan in this area at the beginning of each year and the results at the end of the year.

I want to emphasize - now any minister who fails to do his job will resign," Shavkat Mirziyoyev said.
