On August 16, a video footage was published in the “Xalq bilan muloqot” (“Dialogue with people”) group on Facebook, in which an employee of the Cabinet of Ministers of Uzbekistan and a visitor argued with each other.
The entrepreneur made a complaint to the employee of the Cabinet of Ministers for insulting him. At the same time, the visitor as a taxpayer said that the employee receives a salary, and he must work for the benefit of the people.
The man emphasized that he was waiting for the employee of the CM for 45 minutes. The official said that it was “his business”. He also called the visitor a “traitor”.
The entrepreneur also made a remark to the CM employee and said that “in Uzbekistan, laws do not work accordingly because of people like him”. Then an officer of the National Guard approached them, and they stopped verbal skirmishing.
A few hours later, the Cabinet of Ministers made an official statement in the government portal of Uzbekistan.
“An official investigation was instituted on this issue against the employee. His behavior is incompatible with the relevant requirements and he was fired,” the Cabinet of Ministers stated.
