Commenting on the reason for return of the laws, Zarif Alizoda, Representative of the President to the Parliament, noted that amendments made by parliamentarians to the laws had made their contents incomprehensible and implementation of them difficult.
Thus, according to him, the right of use of plot of land has been equaled with the right of use of real estate property while they are different things.
“Besides, according to amendments made to the wadset law, only specialists in law and land management have the right to be engaged in the land registration issues,” Aliyev alive, noting this infringes upon citizens’ rights.
MP Muhiddin Kabiri, who is also leader of the Islamic Revival Party, noted that there ought not to be in hurry to adopt the mentioned laws and suggested that they should be put to referendum
Parliamentarians also adopted the law on amendments to the tax code in the government’s edition.
During the first reading, MPs excluded the government’s proposal under which the anticorruption agency also has the right to inspect tax payments along with tax services.
This time, parliamentarians agreed to leave this proposal in force.
On the mortgage law, Alizoda said the bill submitted by the government provided for and regulated right of use of land.
MP Mirzobek Hojiyev came out against the possibility of putting land-use right on auction.
For his part, Alizoda noted that if tenant farmer fails to fulfill obligations credit organization has the right to put the land-use right on auction.
Speaking at the session, MP Shodi Shabdolov noted that if it is allowed putting the land-use right on auction, farmers will lose the right of use of land and join the ranks of unemployed
