DUSHANBE, December 18, Asia-Plus - Parliamentarians have organized a real examination for members of a new country’s new cabinet at the fifth joint session of the Majlisi Milli (upper chamber of Tajik parliament) and the Majlisi Namoyandagon (lower chamber) that was held on December 16.
Asked about plans of the government on enhancement of the agrarian sector, Prime Minister Oqil Oqilov noted that it is necessary, first of all, to resolve cotton farm debt and prevent local authorities from interfering in economic activity of farmers.
Answering to question of the Majlisi Namoyandagon deputy Shodi Shabdolov about problems facing Tajik mining industry, Oqilov said that all mineral deposits had been included onto the government reserve. “At present these enterprises are unprofitable because they are engaged in putting out raw materials and half-finished products and we should launch enterprise manufacturing finished goods,” Oqilov said.
He also agreed with the Majlisi Namoyandagon deputy Yusufjon Akhmedov that in connection with upcoming introduction of “electronic government”, officials of all levels should be able to freely operate computer.
