Five officials fined for violating transparency regulations
In 2024, five officials were fined for failing to comply with transparency regulations. Among them were the deputy governors responsible for transparency in the Jomboy, Uychi, and Namangan districts, as well as the spokesperson for JSC "Xalq Bank." These individuals faced administrative penalties for violating the transparency standards related to the operations of state organizations.

Last year, a Transparency Index was introduced to assess the openness of state institutions. The index evaluated 103 government bodies, categorizing 31 as "green" (high transparency), 43 as "yellow" (moderate transparency), and 29 as "red" (low transparency). This information was shared during a briefing on January 20 by Sherzod Saparov, spokesperson for the Anti-Corruption Agency.
In 2024, the risks of corruption within the functions of state bodies were also assessed. Out of 7,525 functions performed by 101 state organizations, 495 were identified as "high risk," 1,541 as "medium risk," and 5,489 as "low risk." Furthermore, an electronic registry of potential corruption risks was created.
The effectiveness of anti-corruption efforts in state organizations was evaluated. Among 95 organizations, 42 were rated as "good," 38 as "satisfactory," and 15 as "unsatisfactory." The reports of the "unsatisfactory" rated leaders were reviewed and critically discussed.
Additionally, during the briefing, it was revealed that five officials had been penalized for failing to meet the legal requirements for transparency.
According to the Anti-Corruption Agency’s statement to Kun.uz, the five fined officials were the deputy governors responsible for transparency in Jomboy district (Samarkand region), Margilan city (Fergana region), Uychi and Namangan districts (Namangan region), as well as the spokesperson for the JSC "Xalq Bank."
These officials violated Article 215-7, Part 1 of the Administrative Responsibility Code, which mandates compliance with laws regarding the transparency of state institutions. Violations include the failure to publish, or incomplete publication of, socially significant information listed as open data, not adhering to publication deadlines and procedures, or misrepresenting the information. For such violations, officials can be fined an amount ranging from three to five times the base calculation unit (BCU).
According to Part 2 of the same article, if a similar violation occurs again within a year after an administrative penalty, the fine can increase to between five and ten times the BCU.
It is also important to note that in June 2021, a presidential decree on transparency was issued, requiring state organizations to publicly disclose over 30 categories of information.
