Tashkent, Uzbekistan (UzDaily.com) -- On 24 October 2018, a regular meeting of the Legislative Chamber of Oliy Majlis was held. During it, the deputies considered a number of draft laws, aimed at providing legal support for reforms in the country in various fields, issues that are a daily topic of public discussion.
Previously all the issues on the agenda were discussed at meetings of factions of political parties and the deputy group from the Ecological Movement of Uzbekistan.
At the meeting, the deputies discussed a draft law “On Amendments and Additions to Certain Legislative Acts of the Republic of Uzbekistan”, developed by the Ministry of Employment and Labor Relations pursuant to paragraph 20 of the Presidential Decree “On additional measures to improve the activities of farms, dekhkan farms and owners of private land” from 26 April 2018.
This draft law is aimed at further improving the efficiency of the activities of farms, dekhkan farms and owners of homestead lands, expanding powers and ensuring the active participation of the Council of farms, dekhkans farms and owners of homestead lands of Uzbekistan.
However, the existing number of discussion norms in the draft law caused fair claims of deputies. In this regard, with a view to detailed revision of the draft law, it was noted that it would be expedient to leave it and include it on the agenda of the next meeting of the lower house of parliament.
The draft law “On Amendments and Amendments to Certain Legislative Acts of the Republic of Uzbekistan”, submitted to the Chamber by the Ministry of Justice together with the relevant ministries and departments on the basis of the right of legislative initiative, was also vigorously discussed by deputies.
It was underlined that today in the acts of legislation regarding the citizens of Uzbekistan who do not have a permanent residence permit in the city of Tashkent and Tashkent region, there are a number of restrictions associated with residing and getting work in these territories.
Failure to comply with the above restrictions is grounds for bringing citizens and officials to administrative responsibility. This draft law is aimed at eliminating the above restrictions and is developed in order to ensure the realization of the constitutional rights of citizens to free choice of work, free movement on the territory of the republic and other rights related to obtaining a passport, education and employment. Deputies reviewed and passed the bill.
Then the deputies began to discuss the draft law “On Amendments to Certain Legislative Acts of the Republic of Uzbekistan in connection with the abolition of the established quota for the Ecological Movement of Uzbekistan”.
The objectives of this draft law are to optimize the circle of entities with the right to nominate candidates for deputies to the Legislative Chamber of Oliy Majlis by eliminating the system of quoting deputy seats for environmental movement election legislation and bringing it in line with international standards.
However, as the deputies stressed, a draft Electoral Code has been developed and is widely discussed, which is aimed at improving the mechanisms for the implementation of citizens ‘electoral rights. If the Electoral Code is adopted, a number of laws, in which amendments and additions are made to the draft law proposed by the deputies, will become null and void.
According to these rationales, in the opinion of the deputies, the norms envisaged in this draft law should be reflected, not as a separate project, but as submitted to the Electoral Code. On this basis, this bill was rejected by deputies.
MPs discussed a draft law “On Amendments and Additions to the Administrative Responsibility Code of the Republic of Uzbekistan”.
As the deputies stressed, today the legislation of the country does not define the measure of responsibility of citizens carrying out construction and installation work for offenses in the field of urban planning. As a result, the number of offenses in this area is constantly growing.
The main purpose of the draft law under consideration is to determine the corresponding liability in respect of offenders, including citizens and officials. This will serve to prevent permissible offenses during the implementation of construction and installation works. In this regard, in clauses 99 and 160 of the code it is proposed to introduce rules on the application and strengthening of administrative measures in relation to citizens and officials.
During the discussions of this bill, deputies have many questions arising from the presence of several controversial norms in it. On this basis, this draft law has been removed from the agenda with a view to its comprehensive revision.
The meeting also discussed the issue of reviewing the electronic collective appeal received via the Mening Fikrim web portal “On the advisability of installing traffic lights with a countdown on the streets of districts and cities”.
It was proposed to gradually replace existing traffic and pedestrian traffic lights with traffic and pedestrian traffic lights equipped with countdown indicators. This appeal, which received more than 10 thousand votes, was included in the agenda of the meeting by the Committee on Defense and Security of the Legislative Chamber of Parliament, analyzed in detail. As a result, a relevant resolution was adopted, in which the Cabinet of Ministers was recommended to consider the issue of phased replacement of traffic lights in the streets of districts and cities of the country.
The meeting also reviewed the results of parliamentary inquiries sent to the ministries of health and finance.
On 3 March 2018, a decision was taken by the Khokim of Kashkadarya region to transform the maternity complex of Karshi into the regional maternity complex and to finance its activities at the expense of the regional budget. This decision also stipulated transformation of the maternity complex of the city of Karshi to the scale of the regional one. However, it was revealed that this institution is absent in the organizational structure of health authorities and is not funded from the regional budget, therefore its creation has no justification, including it is inappropriate to give it legal status.
In order to eliminate the existing problem, a parliamentary request was sent to the Ministry of Health on August 30, 2018. Over the past period, the ministry responded to it, but the answer did not satisfy the deputies due to the lack of a solution to the issue, therefore the request was sent again.
As a result, in a recently received reply letter, it was reported that on October 15 of this year, the regional hokim made a decision “On measures to further improve the system of maternal and child health in the region”. As a result, the decision of March 3, 2018 has lost its force. Thus, the maternity complex of Kashkadarya region was transformed into the maternity complex of Karshi city, its activity was restored.
In addition, a response was received to the parliamentary request sent to the Ministry of Finance on August 30 about the unsatisfactory condition of providing medicines and medical supplies to the Kashkadarya regional children’s multidisciplinary medical center. Also, the accounts payable of this center as of July 1, 2018 to drug providers amounts to 263 million soums, which, in turn, negatively affects the quality of medical services to patients. According to this, the financial bodies fully repaid the debt. Currently, the children’s multidisciplinary medical institution of the region is provided with drugs.
The meeting also discussed other issues included in the powers of the Legislative Chamber of the Oliy Majlis of the Republic of Uzbekistan.
