Tashkent, Uzbekistan (UzDaily.com) - At the seventh plenary session of the Senate, the discussion was also centered on the Law of the Republic of Uzbekistan "On Amendments to Certain Legislative Acts of the Republic of Uzbekistan in Connection with Improving the Activities of Kengashes of People’s Deputies".

It was noted that although in recent years a regulatory and legal framework has been created to strengthen the control activities of Kengashes, the laws establish the accountability of the khokim, his deputy, the heads of the prosecutor’s office, court, internal affairs and health care system to the relevant Kengeshes, in practice this does not give the expected results.

In accordance with the Decree of the President of the Republic of Uzbekistan "On a legal experiment on the introduction of a special management procedure in the city of Tashkent", the secretariats of the Tashkent city and district Kengashes of people’s deputies, created as an experiment, are effectively working.

The law introduces an amendment to the Law "On local government", according to which the task of organizational, technical and other services for the activities of regional, district and city Kengashes of people’s deputies was transferred from the apparatus of khokimiyats to the Secretariat of the corresponding Kengash of people’s deputies.

It is established that the Secretariat is a legal entity, and its activities are financed from the relevant local budget. The structure of the Secretariat, staffing, salary and material and technical support of employees, as well as the costs necessary for their work, are approved by the relevant Kengash of people’s deputies.

In addition, it was noted at the meeting that with the implementation of this Law, the implementation of the regional, district, city Kengashes of people’s deputies of effective deputy control over the activities of state bodies will be ensured.

As the President stressed in his Address to Parliament, a solid foundation will also be created for the implementation of the idea that the representative power will operate separately from the executive power.

The law was approved by the senators.
