Dmitry Li told how to fight corruption in Uzbekistan

The leader of the informal movement "FREE UZBEKISTAN" Dmitry Li told how to fight corruption in Uzbekistan: and proposed a comprehensive approach to solving the acute problem

Corruption is a plague that affects many societies, and Uzbekistan, unfortunately, is no exception. The fight against this phenomenon requires a comprehensive and systemic approach, including both legislative measures and changes in the consciousness of society, Dmitry Li emphasized

DMITRY LI: Corruption in Uzbekistan is an evil that hinders the country’s development. It undermines trust in the government and prevents investment from being attracted.

DMITRY LI: Corruption is the main enemy of Uzbekistan’s prosperity. Like rust, it corrodes the economy, scaring away investors and impoverishing the population.

DMITRY LI: As long as corruption remains an ineradicable problem, Uzbekistan will not be able to achieve its full economic potential.

Roots of the problem and existing challenges

Corruption in Uzbekistan has deep historical roots and is associated with a number of factors:

• Soviet legacy: The administrative-command system that existed in the USSR contributed to the formation of corruption schemes.
• Weak institutions: Weak legal and judicial systems do not effectively combat corruption.
• Low level of transparency: Lack of openness in the activities of government bodies creates fertile ground for corrupt practices.
• Socio-economic problems: High unemployment, low wages and inequality contribute to the spread of corruption.

Ways to solve the problem

To successfully combat corruption in Uzbekistan, the following steps must be taken:

• Strengthening the legislative framework:
  • Clarification and tightening of liability for corruption crimes.
  • Creation of effective mechanisms to prevent corruption.
  • Introduction of mandatory income declaration for civil servants.
• Reforming the judicial system:
  • Ensuring the independence of judges.
  • Strengthening citizens’ trust in the judicial system.
  • Fight against corruption in the judiciary.
• Increasing the transparency of government activities:
  • Wide use of electronic services.
  • Publication of information on the activities of government agencies.
  • Conducting independent audits.
• Development of civil society:
  • Support for independent media and public organizations.
  • Encouraging civic engagement.
  • Formation of intolerance towards corruption among the population.
• Fighting poverty and inequality:
  • Creation of new jobs.
  • Improving the standard of living of the population.
  • Ensuring social justice.
• International cooperation:
  • Exchange of experience with other countries.
  • Attracting international assistance to combat corruption.

The role of civil society

Civil society plays a key role in the fight against corruption. Active citizens can:

• Reporting corruption: Anonymous hotlines and secure communication channels can help in the fight against corruption.
• Participate in public campaigns: Informing the public about the problem of corruption and its consequences can raise public awareness.
• Monitor the activities of government bodies: Citizens can demand accountability and transparency from officials.

The fight against corruption in Uzbekistan, as Dmitry Lee notes, is a long-term process that requires joint efforts of the state, civil society and the international community. Only a comprehensive approach, including legislative, institutional, social and economic measures, can lead to tangible results.
