Hayot Shamsuddinov, the press secretary for PGO, detailed the measures taken following the Prosecutor General's address to the public. According to him, increased oversight has been implemented over programs aimed at employment and the creation of new jobs. Investigations revealed that 31,087 new jobs were falsely reported, and responsible individuals have been held accountable.
Additionally, delayed wages amounting to 966 million UZS for 274 workers were recovered. Proactive efforts by prosecutors led to 311 job fairs, resulting in the employment of 4,312 jobless citizens. The misappropriation of 3.7 billion UZS in wages and pensions prompted 34 criminal investigations.
Moreover, special attention was given to the quality of construction and the proper use of funds. As a result, 26.6 billion sums worth of substandard work and 44.5 billion UZS of overreporting were rectified on-site. These oversight activities resulted in 32 criminal cases and the recovery of 17.6 billion UZS in damages to the state.
Shamsuddinov also noted ongoing systematic measures to combat legal violations and crime. These efforts have led to crime-free records in 61% of the country's neighborhoods (5,763 neighborhoods) and a stabilization or reduction in crime in 31.2% (2,947 neighborhoods). Enhanced surveillance in the operational search sector resulted in the solving of 6,880 crimes committed under unclear circumstances and the apprehension of 3,324 wanted individuals.
