He clarified that this proposal is related to a draft law that changes the structure of the Accounts Chamber.
“This measure is part of the reforms aimed at optimizing and reducing bureaucracy, initiated by the president. It will also increase the personal responsibility of each auditor,” he noted.
According to Akmatov, implementing this decision will save between 30 to 60 million soms from the state budget.
“Increasing personal responsibility will result from the fact that decisions will now be made individually, which will help avoid the dilution of responsibility. We are moving towards international standards, where the functions of auditors are clearly separated,” he added.
