The Foreign Labor Migration Agency, which has become a target of criticism through serial materials and inquiries, forgot to eliminate the problems and corruption cases raised in them, and started quarreling with the publication.
In recent months, Kun.uz has published several inquiries about the problems associated with organized labor migration.
In the inquiries, questions were raised about “games” in going to work in Korea, suspicious activities during language exams, cases of cheating in exams, exams held without public announcement, payments not provided for in interstate contracts. Citizens who were dissatisfied with the work of the Migration Agency were interviewed.
Even a phone conversation was organized with a broker who solves the issue of migration to Korea: he openly told about the methods of “100 percent result” and its price.
Instead of trying to solve these obvious problems in the system, the Foreign Labor Migration Agency filed a complaint against the Kun.uz website to the Agency for Information and Mass Communications under the Presidential Administration.
In its complaint, the agency accused the site of posting material that “lacks clear evidence”.
“Despite the fact that the information service of the agency issued substantiated statements on each material published in the publication, a meeting was organized between the author of the material and the management of the agency, and a press tour was organized in order to introduce the test procedures for going to work in the Republic of Korea, in order to discredit the agency and its employees, the publication of materials based only on assumptions and rumors is continued,” a copy of the report submitted by the agency to the editorial office reads.
It should be noted that none of the series of materials published in Kun.uz about the problems and “games” in going to work in South Korea are based on rumors or assumptions.
For example, in the material published on March 24, 2023, it is said that South Korea announces late the dates of the exam that gives the opportunity to work, and in 2022, 4 exams were held, two of which were missed without public announcement. The reasons for the opinions expressed in the articles are presented in the appropriate order. The agency could not comment on the situation.
In the material published on May 10, 2023, the opinions of applicants who came to the capital from Surkhandarya region and are dissatisfied with the activities of the Migration Agency are presented in the form of an interview.
