Pskent district hokim issued a reprimand for insulting farmers
Tashkent regional hokim Zoir Mirzayev on 13 October signed an order imposing a disciplinary sanction on Pskent district hokim Muzaffar Aripov. The grounds were a submission from the Anti-Corruption Agency, a protocol of the ethics commission, and the official's own written explanation. The reason was an audio recording circulated online, in which the hokim allegedly threatened farmers to take away their land and 'shake the soul out of them' if they did not plant potatoes.
