DUSHANBE, 13.07.2023 (NIAT Khovar) – The Ministry of Internal Affairs of Tajikistan has created a working group to develop proposals for making changes and additions to the Criminal Code.

According to the ministry, using fake government registration numbers will be considered a crime.

“In other words, preparing, receiving, storing, transporting, transferring to someone else’s possession and advertising fake numbers, driving a vehicle with someone else’s state registration or fake number, as well as transferring such a vehicle to another person will be considered a crime. For this, criminal liability will be provided, up to imprisonment,” the ministry’s press center reports.

Compliance with existing laws is mandatory for all citizens, and the police officers are obliged, within their official powers, to protect the rights, freedoms and interests of citizens.

It should be noted that on July 12 the President of Tajikistan Emomali Rahmon made personnel changes in a number of structural units of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

During the conversation with the management team of the above-mentioned bodies, the head of state analyzed and reviewed the activities of the sector in detail, and gave specific instructions to eliminate existing shortcomings, prevent any violations of the law and ensure public order.

The President ordered that all employees of the State Automobile Inspection pass an attestation due to many cases of violations of the law during the circulation of vehicles with fake license plates, without state registration number, disobedience to the requirements of traffic rules and reminders in order to clear the ranks of the staff of the State Automobile Inspection.

The leadership of the State Automobile Inspection was instructed to pay more attention to the professional skills and comprehensive knowledge of personnel during recruitment.
