New Tashkent to Have Its Own Hokimiyat
The head of the new hokimiyat will be appointed and dismissed by the President of Uzbekistan. The body will begin operations before the formation of the corresponding administrative-territorial unit.
This is established by a decree of the head of state dated 10 November.
The tasks of the new body include managing the territory of New Tashkent, serving residents, as well as social and infrastructure facilities. All of this will operate under a special legal regime.
The decree also defines the standard structure of the hokimiyat apparatus and the staffing levels of subdivisions of state bodies and organisations that will operate in this territory.
Law enforcement and oversight agencies have been given one month to open their structures in New Tashkent. This applies to the Prosecutor General's Office, the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the Ministry of Justice, the Ministry of Emergency Situations, and other law enforcement agencies.
The hokimiyat and local subdivisions of state bodies will be able to independently resolve issues that were previously under the jurisdiction of the authorities of Tashkent Region and its districts. These powers extend to lands transferred to the directorate for permanent use. The new management bodies will also independently carry out the tasks assigned to them.
The maintenance of the hokimiyat, as well as state bodies and organisations, will be covered by the republican budget.
