It is noted in the Address that the legislation provides for khokimiyats to perform about 300 tasks and functions, 175 of them, in fact, are not included in the main competence of khokims and duplicate other departments’ functions.

In this regard, President instructed the Senate of the Oliy Majlis, with involvement of the Ministry of Justice of the Republic of Uzbekistan to review the authority of khokims in the first half of this year and prepare proposals for transferring non-traditional and duplicate functions to relevant departments.
