Tajikistan’s upper house (Majlisi Milli) of parliament (Majlisi Oli) will elect two judges of the Constitutional Court upon the recommendation of the president tomorrow.
An official source at the Majlisi Milli says President Emomali Rahmon has recommended Asror Sharifzoda, a judge a the Supreme Court, and Jamshed Jamshedzoda, a member of the Commission for elections and Referenda (CCER), to the posts of judges of the Constitutional Court of Tajikistan.
Besides, staff changes have been introduced to the Ministry of Defense and commanders of some military units have been replaced. Staff changes have reportedly also been introduced to Tajikistan’s Representative Office to the Collective Security Treaty Organization (CSTO) Standing Council.
The Majlisi Milli has also given consent to appointment of Zainoura Azimi, who had previously served as deputy mayor of Panjakent, deputy governor of the Sughd province. Ms. Azimi has replaced Ms. Nazira Ghaffori who has been retired for age reasons, the source said.
Under the country’s legislation, the powers of the Majlisi Milli include: formation and abolition, and change of administrative-territorial units; the election and recall of the chairman, deputy chairmen, and judges of the Constitutional Court, Supreme Court, and Supreme Economic Court upon the recommendation of the President; deciding questions of the repeal of inviolability of the chairman, deputy chairmen, and judges of the Constitutional Court, Supreme Court, and Supreme Economic Court; giving consent to the appointment and relieving of the Procurator General and his deputies; and the effectuation of other powers to be determined by the Constitution and by laws.
The Majlisi Milli adopts a decree within the limits of its powers. A decree of the Majlisi Milli for which a majority of members of it voted is considered to be adopted if the Constitution does not determine another procedure for adopting the decree.
