In 2024, five officials were held accountable for failing to meet transparency requirements.

In 2024, the Openness Index was established to assess the transparency of government institutions' operations. According to this index, out of 103 government bodies:

• 31 received a "green" rating (high level of openness),
• 43 received a "yellow" rating (medium level of openness),
• 29 received a "red" rating (low level of openness).

This was reported by the head of the press service of the Anti-Corruption Agency, Sherzod Saparov, during a briefing held on January 20 at AIMG.

In 2024, assessments of the level of corruption risks in the functions of government bodies were conducted. Out of 7,525 functions performed by 101 government bodies and organizations:

• 495 were identified as having a "high" level of corruption risks,
• 1,541 as "medium,"
• 5,489 as "low."

Additionally, an electronic registry of corruption-prone relationships was established.

In 2024, the effectiveness of anti-corruption efforts in government bodies was evaluated, with 42 out of 95 organizations recognized as "good," 38 as "satisfactory," and 15 as "unsatisfactory." Reports from leaders who received unsatisfactory ratings were presented and critically discussed.

The briefing also revealed that administrative penalties were imposed on five officials who violated the transparency legislation.

As clarified by the Anti-Corruption Agency in an interview with Kun.uz, those held accountable include:

• deputies of the khokims of the Jambay district in Samarkand region, the city of Margilan in Fergana region, and the Uychin and Namangan districts in Namangan region,
• as well as the head of the press service of Khalq Bank.

These officials committed an offense as stipulated by part 1 of Article 215-7 of the Code of Administrative Offenses.

According to this article, penalties can be imposed on officials for violations of openness legislation concerning government activities, including failure to meet deadlines or procedures for publishing socially significant information, data manipulation, or incomplete disclosures, with fines ranging from 3 to 5 BRV.

In the case of a repeated offense within a year following the imposition of administrative penalties, the fine increases to 5–10 BRV.

Recall that in June 2021, a presidential decree on openness was adopted, requiring government bodies and organizations to publish over 30 categories of data in the public domain.
