“Today, the role of the public in reforming our society is very important. It has been noted that senators and deputies should be more active as people’s representatives. In this regard, the new idea “Community – initiator of reforms” should be applied in our daily lives.

At the same time, in order to create an effective mechanism for all senators to communicate with the people, the direct work with all local councils has been established. Appropriate trainings were held to introduce a system of senators’ interaction with 6,570 deputies of local Councils, and joint activities were determined. The main purpose of this is to increase the activity of deputies at places, and to form and develop their genuine deputy control,” Kun.uz correspondent quoted Narbayeva as saying.
