Uzbekistan: corruption and livelihood 00: 00: 00 Speaker 1

However, the government says that it is increasing various programs under the slogans that the year of the child is the year of the mother and the year of the child is the year of honoring the elderly. Says more funds are being allocated. New hospitals are being built, new kindergartens are being opened, does it matter?


00:22:07 Speaker 1
These are the things that will be done. As I said yesterday, the Uzbek people are very trusting people, the Uzbek people are very kind, simple people. I like to build the Uzbek people, but the Uzbek people believe that some leaders take advantage of the Uzbek people and say, "Alma, today this will happen tomorrow, this will happen." None of these investments will be built at the expense of foreign investors. It's not just a question of whether a hospital or a college was built, but how many people are behind it.


00:22:51 Speaker 2
They get contracts.


00:22:52 Speaker 1
They make money when they get the boxes, and the leaders who are involved in the corruption in this country are behind them a lot of money. Because let's see how the average monthly income in Uzbekistan is 200 or 100 dollars, let's say it is 5 dollars. How can a citizen of Uzbekistan have a million dollars? Will you lend Gulnara Karimova the president's daughter? But Lola Karimova, a citizen of Uzbekistan. Corruption is behind them. Everything is simple, the business of Lola Karimova with her husband is export import business.


00:23:37 Speaker 2
So they are not entrepreneurs.


00:23:39 Speaker 1
No, I consider the corrupt old woman to be a person who is not a businessman but a participant in corruption. Because let's say that directly with us you are eating the income that comes to the Uzbek people. If you want to tell me why, I will tell you that Lola Karimova, who was released without paying the taxes imposed by the government, has fallen to the ground. I saw a lot of secret state documents that said that the exemption of businesses from payments would not be included in the last budget, because there would be items that would concern us through the Ministry of Finance. Let such and such be exempted from taxes. To be exempted from such payments for so many years for so many years, we should consider it and put a resolution on it. . Some are in the cabinet. Some of their acquaintances through acquaintances or through the presidential apparatus or directly with the president himself
