Heads of ministries and agencies of Tajikistan as well as heads of provinces and cities are expected to begin to give news conferences on the results of the past half-year’s work on January 29.
The state-run news agency Khovar says the news conferences will run through February 16.
The news conferences’ plan has reportedly been approved by the head of President’s Executive Office.
Recall, President Emomali Rahmon on March 4, 2005 signed a decree obligating ministers, department heads, and local officials to give quarterly news conferences.
But by president’s decree issued in September 2011, ministers, department heads, and local authorities now give news conferences only twice a year – in January and July.
The decree also notes that in case of necessity, ministers and department heads may give news conferences several times a month.
